Salesforce advanced Code searcher
Description from store

We are now on Lightning!!!!

Using this extension you can search your code components your salesforce instance:
1) apex Classes
2) Apex Triggers
3) visualforce Pages
4) Visualforce Components
5) Lighting Component

In addition to the above you can use this extension to jump to classes / pages / triggers from the advanced quick find section on the left hand side.

How to make it work in Lightning:
1) We embed the extension in the setup page. Please navigate to the setup home page where you can find the extension injected in the right.
2) You need to authorize (this is a one time activity) for the application to make the API calls.
3) On clicking the button, you will be navigated to the Salesforce to authorize. Once you have successfully completed the authorization, you will be redirected back to the home page.
4) Once this is done, all the functionalities will be enabled.

How to use it (Classic):

Both the below section get added in the set-up pages, so this is only useful for developers and Admins, this tool will not make any sense for salesforce users.

1) Advanced Quick Find section:This part gets added in side navigation bar on all set-up pages. Select the code component that you want to go to, then start typing the name of the code,an autocomplete suggestion pops up, select the one that you want to go to.

2) Developer Utilities:
2.1) This component get added in force.com home page only. Let's say you want to know where you have hard-coded a profile name in your code, like if(profile.name =='sys Admin'){//you're doing something}. Right now to find this out you have to either go thru all the code individually or create a force.com project in eclipse and then search there. There's no way we can do this directly in salesforce. This string search will help you do that. You have to check the code components in which you want to search the code, enter a string in the input text field and hit enter. You will be presented with a list of code components where the string is used.
2.2 ) Code Coverage Extract: You can View and download the code coverage in your org.
2.3 ) This extension now allows you to lint the lightning code via the Lightning Linter tab.
2.4 ) You can now run PMD against your code
2.5 ) Added a new tab which will allow the users to view the record and its child information .

Seems to no longer show now that the setup home page displays "Salesforce Go" (which seems utterly useless)? Used to be good though, looking forward to some kind of fix or workaround.

Got it working in Windows after Summer '25 release per other reviewers suggestions; however, on Mac, it doesn't load in Lightning. I hope this gets fixed so I can change my review.

Joe Smith I only found 1 line, any other tricks?

I found a fix for the URI Mismatch error. When you run into the page with the following error: Error: error=redirect_uri_mismatch&error_description=redirect_uri%20must%20match%20configuration 1. Press F12 2. Go to Console 3. Look for the following two lines 1st: chrome-extension://token1/callback.html 2nd: chrome-extension://token2/callback.html 4. copy the token2 string between "chrome-extension://" and "/callback.html" in the second line 5. replace the two instances of token1 in your url bar with token2 and press Enter

HUGE shoutout to Alan Garcia (alnandr) for the temp fix - THAAANNNKKKK YOOOOUUUU - we are back in business
Frank Delay
I've never written a review but didn't realize how much I needed this extension until it wasn't working. Shoutout to Alan Garcia (alnandr) for posting the fix, I can confirm it works.

This extension is still fully functional, the issue is that Salesforce changed the name of the setup header element in the Spring '25 release that caused the injection to break. To anyone reading this who wants to get the advanced code searcher to work again in the meantime until the developer pushes an update, follow these steps: 1. Uninstall the extension from Chrome either from the nav bar or from chrome://extensions 2. Use a "CRX Extractor/Downloader" tool extension to download this Chrome extension as a ZIP file. 3. Extract the ZIP file contents to a folder somewhere you'll keep it long-term (i.e., Documents folder). 4. Open the contentScript_l.js file in the root directory using a text editor or IDE like VS Code. 5. On lines 16 and 29, replace ".onesetupHelpBanner" with ".onesetupSetupHeader" and save the file. 6. Navigate to chrome://extensions in your browser and enable developer mode. 7. Select "Load unpacked" and choose the extracted root directory from step 2. 8. Load Salesforce Setup in Lightning again and voila, the extension works again! Hope this helps everyone :)

I gave it a 5 because I love this extension. It doesn't work for me any longer. Maybe Winter 2025 release caused the issue. Please fix.

This extension is not working for me after salesforce org URL is updated to : salesforce-setup.com If there is any solution, please suggest.

With some Salesforce orgs moving to a "salesforce-setup.com" url for Setup pages in Lightning, the extension's allowed sites needs to be updated to continue working. how to make that update working?

This extension has been a huge help! With some Salesforce orgs moving to a "salesforce-setup.com" url for Setup pages in Lightning, the extension's allowed sites needs to be updated to continue working.

Great tool! Having the LWC Editor in-browser is awesome! The code search is super handy and the GraphQL is a bonus. Thank you very much!
Martin Kopecký
Hi, This tool is really great, but from today I am receiving weird error when I try search piece of code in Apex Classes (Tab - Search Code). Some error occured while query for data TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'records') Are you able to check what is wrong?
