Feature request: search in payloads #118

Closed proddy closed 2 years ago

proddy commented 2 years ago

Love this project, use it iOS and my MacBook a lot.

One suggestion I have is on the Search. It's really a Filter for topics the current view than a Search, and also dependent I believe if it's Flat or Nested. Maybe rename it to Filter since that word is also used when displaying the results.

Then it would be great if you could do a real Search for any matching strings in both the topic names and payloads.

I sometimes switch to MQTTExplorer when I need to find something or monitor data in a specific payload.

Hi @proddy, thanks for letting me know 😄

You are right. This can be improved

filtering with the new hierarchy needs some more attention and test cases
search/filter by content is also requested here (https://github.com/philipparndt/mqtt-analyzer/issues/10). I will do a draft implementation and see how it performs. In the long term, we would need a search index to do this the right way.

I merged the changes to the master, but keep this open until feedback.
