# Universal Test Search + Smart Traceability

The pytest-html-plus report includes a powerful search bar that instantly filters tests as you type, helping you quickly locate failures, trace coverage, and navigate linked references.

## Search and Navigate

Simply start typing, and the dashboard will filter tests in real time based on:

Test names

Linked external IDs — such as JIRA, Testmo, Notion, or any quoted references you attach (for example JIRA-123, DOC-456, etc.)

Custom URLs or keywords — any meaningful text or link in associated references will be indexed

Error messages and trace snippets — quickly find tests sharing similar failures, assertion messages, or exception types

This smart search helps you trace coverage, group tests by external references, and identify related failures with ease.

## Examples

  • Search JIRA-123 to display all tests linked to that issue.

  • Search TimeoutError to locate tests failing due to timeouts.

  • Search NoSuchElementException to identify Selenium or Playwright locator failures.

  • Search expected 200 to find API assertions with matching error messages.

This makes it easy to investigate patterns, correlate failures, and navigate large reports efficiently.
