Context Search

Press Ctrl+E to open Context Search — Zentro's Spotlight-style palette. It has several search modes, switched by typing a prefix character; with no prefix it searches your database schema.

Default Mode: Schema Search

By default, Context Search searches objects in the active connection's schema: tables, indexes, views, and functions/stored procedures are shown and matched by default.

Start typing to filter — results are ranked by fuzzy match quality.

Click the rows icon in the top-right of the dialog to reveal the rest of the object kinds (foreign tables, materialized views, sequences, data types, aggregate functions) and toggle any kind on/off individually.

• Enter/click on a table, view, materialized view, or foreign table opens it in a Table Data tab (the same view you get from clicking it in Schema Explorer) — not a raw SQL query.

• Enter/click on a function or stored procedure opens a new query tab with a ready-to-edit call template (EXEC/CALL/SELECT, depending on the driver).

• Enter/click on anything else (index, sequence, data type, aggregate function) opens a read-only info tab.

• Right-click a table-like result for more actions: Browse, SELECT * template, ALTER template, INSERT template, UPDATE template.

Script Search (# prefix)

Type # at the start of your query to switch to script search mode. It searches both saved script names and their SQL content — content matches show the matching line.

#monthly revenue
→ monthly_revenue_report.sql, revenue_by_month.sql, ...

Press Enter (or click) to open the script — it jumps straight to the matching line if the match came from content, and focuses the tab if the script is already open.

Other Modes

Context Search shares the same Ctrl+E entry point with a few other prefix-based modes:
