In the 2.5 release, we've introduced a global search that unifies the results from the Setup, Monitoring, and Customize providers into one. This feature queries each provider, combines and sorts the results, then displays them within our Vue frontend application.

You can toggle the global search from anywhere by using the Ctrl-k shortcut. By default, it will search across all providers, but you can also specify a provider like Setup or Monitoring. In addition, we still support inline Monitoring filters like s: to search by service. The other available filters are documented from within the search window.

The existing Setup and Monitoring menus items, as well as the Quicksearch sidebar element, remain available, so you can continue using your current workflows without interruption.

The global search is enabled by default and requires no additional configuration. We welcome your feedback to help us improve this feature in future releases.
