  description

  Quick Metadata Search for Salesforce is a Spotlight-inspired developer and administrator tool designed to eliminate the multi-step navigation required to find components in the Salesforce Lightning Setup UI.
  
  FEATURES:
  • Spotlight-style search popover that focuses instantly upon clicking the extension icon.
  • Interactive category tabs to narrow your search to Flows, Apex Classes, Apex Triggers, Validation Rules, Permission Sets, and Fields.
  • Object-Scoped Field Search: Search fields by object name and label (e.g., "Account : SLA" or "Opportunity : Close Date") with a local SObject describe cache for fast, seamless lookups.
  • Developer Console Tab: Write, execute, and inspect anonymous Apex scripts directly within the extension popup, complete with customizable log levels (DEBUG, FINEST, etc.) and a "Debug Only" log filter.
  • Apex Test Runner Tab: Trigger unit test runs for individual test classes or bulk selected test classes, and view comprehensive test results in real-time.
  • Seamless redirection to setup pages: click to redirect the active tab, or hold Command/Control (or click the new tab icon) to open in a new tab.
  • Support for keyboard-only navigation: arrow keys to select, Enter to open, and Escape to clear.
  
  HOW TO USE IT:
  1. Log into your Salesforce org in Chrome.
  2. Click the extension icon to activate the search bar.
  3. Start typing the name of any component.
  4. Press Enter to navigate straight to it.

    - Enabled VF Pages: View and search through enabled Visualforce Page access.
    - Enabled Custom Permissions: View enabled Custom Permissions by their user-friendly labels.
  • Object-Scoped Field Search: Search fields by object name and label (e.g., "Account : Billing" or "Opportunity : Close Date") with a local SObject describe cache for fast, seamless lookups.
