  description

  ServiceNow Power Search is a keyboard-first query builder that lets developers,
  administrators, and power users build complex ServiceNow encoded queries in
  seconds — directly from the browser toolbar.
  
  SMART FIELD AUTOCOMPLETE
  Fetches real field names and labels live from your instance's sys_dictionary.
  Type to filter from hundreds of fields instantly, including fields inherited
  from parent tables via the full super_class chain. A refresh button forces
  an immediate reload whenever you need the latest schema.
  
  MULTI-CONDITION BUILDER
  Stack multiple conditions using the + Add button or Ctrl+Enter. Each condition
  becomes a removable chip. Toggle the join mode between AND and OR per condition.
  All chips combine automatically into a single encoded query.
  
  DOT-WALK RELATED FIELDS
  Click → on any reference-type field to drill into the referenced table and
  build dot-walk queries like assigned_to.department.name. A breadcrumb header
  shows the current path and a ← Back button navigates up. Multi-level traversal
  is fully supported — go as deep as you need.
  
  REFERENCE FIELD RESOLVER
  Automatically detects reference-type fields (marked with a REF badge). Type a
  display name and pick from live typeahead results — the extension resolves it
  to the correct sys_id automatically. Type without picking to get a dot-walk
  query against the display field instead.
  
  IMPORT FROM PAGE
  On any ServiceNow list view, click Import to pull the active page's filters
  directly into the builder. Conditions are appended to what you are already
  building — no duplicates, no overwrites.
  
  ADVANCED QUERY
  Paste a raw encoded query string into the Advanced field and it is appended to
  your conditions with ^. Use it for anything the UI does not cover directly.
  
  SAVED TEMPLATES & HISTORY
  Save named search templates with one click. Export them as JSON to share with
  teammates. Import theirs in return. The last 8 searches are also saved
  automatically as quick-access chips.
  
  ZERO SETUP REQUIRED
  Opens with your ServiceNow instance already detected via a live tab badge. If
  you are viewing a list page, the table is pre-selected automatically. Switch
  tabs and the badge updates in real time — a non-ServiceNow tab shows a clear
  error so you always know your context. All API calls run inside your existing
  browser session — no re-authentication, no credential prompts.
  
  SUPPORTED TABLES
  ITSM (Incidents, Changes, Problems, Requests, Tasks, Approvals), CMDB, Users,
  Groups, System / Admin scripts and update sets, Knowledge Articles, Stories,
  and any custom table via free-text entry.
  
  KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS
  ↑↓ navigate fields · Enter/Tab select · Ctrl+Enter add condition · Esc close
  · Letter keys jump to first matching table in the dropdown
  
  PRIVACY
  No data is collected or transmitted externally. Everything stays in local
  browser storage on your own device.
  
  Key changes from the previous version:
  
  DOT-WALK is now its own section (new in v2.1.0)
  IMPORT FROM PAGE added (new in v2.1.0)
  ADVANCED QUERY added
  AND/OR join toggle noted in Multi-Condition Builder
  Tab-aware instance badge and non-SN tab error state added to Zero Setup
  Letter-key navigation added to keyboard shortcuts
  Supported Tables expanded to reflect all groups (ITSM, CMDB, Admin, Story, etc.)
  Cache refresh button mentioned in Field Autocomplete

  What's new in v2.1.1
  
  Comparison operators (greater than, less than, ≥, ≤) now emit ServiceNow's symbol operators (>, <, >=, <=) so they parse correctly
  Import from page now recognizes the "does not contain" operator, so those list filters import cleanly
  Restored the one-line operator hint under the operator dropdown
  Reliability fixes: status-message timing, "Clear all" recent button, condition-delete confirmation state, and broader keyboard focus outlines
  Earlier — v2.1.0 highlights
  
  Dot-walk related fields with breadcrumb navigation (new section)
  Import from page
  Advanced query field
  AND/OR join toggle per condition
  Tab-aware instance badge with a non-ServiceNow error state
  Letter-key table navigation and "starts with" as the default operator
  Expanded supported-table groups (ITSM, CMDB, Users, Admin, Knowledge, Story) plus the sys_dictionary cache refresh button
