Search & Filter
Section titled “Search & Filter”The toolbar search box performs real-time fuzzy search across name, host, username, and tags simultaneously. Results update as you type.
Filter by group using the folder tree on the left side:
- All Connections — show everything
- Ungrouped — connections not assigned to any group
- Recent — connections used in the last 7 days
- Named groups and subgroups
Tags are freeform labels you attach to connections for ad-hoc grouping and filtering.

Useful tag patterns: prod, staging, dev, datacenter-eu, team-backend.
