Search & Filter

When a page has lots of detected resources, scrolling through the list by eye is tedious. FlowPick keeps a persistent search bar at the top of the popup, alongside category tabs and filters, to help you pinpoint exactly what you want.

Where the search bar is

Open the FlowPick popup and you'll see it: pinned to the very top of the window, above the category tabs (All / Streams / Video / Audio / Image / Documents) and the filter area. It's always visible — no menu to expand.

Search matches against the resource URL only. Your current category tab and any type / size / dimensions filters stay applied; the search further narrows the already-filtered results.

Fuzzy search

Just type in the box without clicking anything — that's fuzzy search:

• Substring match against the URL, case-insensitive
• e.g. a resource whose address contains bilibili.com/video/BV1xx can be found by typing bv1xx
• Results filter live as you type

Great when you remember a fragment of the address but don't want to write a regex.

Regex search

The .* button on the right of the input toggles regex mode. Once on:

• Matches the URL with JavaScript regex syntax, case-insensitive (i flag) by default
• You type the pattern itself, e.g.:
  • \.m3u8$ — keep only addresses ending in .m3u8
  • token=\w+ — match links that carry a token parameter
  • /(cdn|img)\./ — keep only CDN or image-domain resources

What if the regex is wrong

When the regex is invalid, the input border turns red and the error is shown below in a monospace font (e.g. Unterminated group). The list does not clear — you keep seeing the last filtered results, and once you fix the pattern it re-filters immediately.

Using it with filters

Search doesn't replace filters — it stacks on top of them. The practical order is:

Example: under the "Image" tab, set a minimum width of 800px, then search wallpaper to get only high-res wallpapers.

Document filtering also works under "All"

Previously, type filtering under the "All" category could only pick streams / video / audio / image. Document and subtitle formats are now included too:

That means under the "All" tab, opening type filter lets you narrow down by formats like .pdf or .srt directly, with counts and disabled states updating automatically.

Clearing search

When there's text in the box, an × button appears on the right. Click it to clear the search term, and the list returns to the full result for the current category + filters.
