Search also for endpoints, not just names

I have checked the following:

• [X] I've searched existing issues and found nothing related to my issue.

Describe the feature you want to add

I usually use Bruno for testing and debugging my API. In that I need to find the endpoint. I know the url of the endpoint, but most times I do not know its summary or description. Unfortunately Bruno seems to only take care for the "name" (summary?)

  return request?.name?.toLowerCase().includes(searchText.toLowerCase());

I think it would make sense to search for the endpoint's URL as well.

Mockups or Images of the feature

Simply search for the url as well.

This is my current workaround:

perl -i -0777 -pe '
    if (m#^\s+url:\s+\{\{baseUrl\}\}(/.*)$#m) {
        my $url = $1;
        s#((\n|\A)meta\s+\{\s*\n\s+name: .*?)\n#$1 [$url]\n#s;
    }
' ./*/*.bru

In essence this searches for the url and appends it to the name. So Authenticate the user at the path /login becomes:

meta {
  name: Authenticate the user [/login]

Hey @Skeeve !

Thanks for bringing this up. We're currently working on enhancing the search experience, and you can expect these improvements to be available in November.

Thanks, Anoop

I really haven't thought about this idea, but as you store each endpoint's request file under its tags, you could as well offer to store them in a "endpoint-tree", meaning: Create a directory path for each endpoint. That way I also wouldn't have the duplication of requests if I have more than one tag for an endpoint. I have to admit that I, when I started the API 2019, misused Tags for signaling permissions a user must have in order to use that endpoint.

But these are just stupid ideas from a beginner with Bruno who might not heave fully understood yet how a pro user uses Bruno.

Currently I'm using Bruno like this:

1. Export my full API into a Bruno Collection
2. Test an Endpoint a bug was found for

I thought it might be great if I could export just that endpoint into a new or existing other Test-Collection.
