I have many collections with 10+ requests in them and have set many global and environment variables in all these requests. Now, if I don't remember where I have set a specific variable and in what requests I am reading this variable's value, I have to manually look through all these requests to find it.

I am not aware if postman already has a search option for this functionality. Please let me know if this option is already available.

If not, then I guess it would good to have a search option that would show me where I have set a variable and in what requests I am reading this variable's value.

  • I don't know of a way to do it in app, but you can export your collection and search the export file for your var names. – Andrew Jan 19 '17 at 06:32
  • Thanks Andrew. I did some more searching on this, and found out a feature request in github for this - https://github.com/postmanlabs/postman-app-support/issues/2016. – Deepti Deshpande Jan 19 '17 at 07:50

On the bottom of the Postman App there is a "Find and Replace" tab: bottom bar of Postman App with "Find and Replace" tab

(or hit Ctrl+Shift+F)

If you have an environment variable "my-env-var" you can enter in the search bar:

  • read usage: {{my-env-var}} or pm.environment.get("my-env-var"
  • write usage: pm.environment.set("my-env-var"

The results tab "Collections" will list all occurences in your collections.

Unfortunately you can't do it.

For now you can use search only in a specific request:

Hope this feature will be implemented soon.
