-------------------------------------
Hi Pierre, I know that this search feature already exists, but here I’m talking
about enhancing the UI. For example, I’ve made it into an advanced filter,
which you can see in the image. I’ve integrated this into my local environment.

> *Current Behavior:* The search feature located in the upper right corner of
> the NiFi UI currently searches across the entire NiFi instance, returning
> results from all process groups and nested levels.
> *Requested Enhancement:* Add the ability to limit the scope of a search to a
> specific process group and its descendants, rather than always searching the
> entire NiFi instance.
> *Use Case:* In large NiFi deployments with many process groups and hundreds
> or thousands of processors, users often need to find components within a
> specific section of their flow. Being able to search within just the current
> process group (and optionally its child groups) would:
> * Reduce noise in search results
> * Improve search performance for large instances
> * Help users navigate complex flows more efficiently
> * Make it easier to work on specific subsections of a dataflow
> *Proposed Implementation:* Add a search scope option that allows users to
> choose between:
> # "Entire Instance" (current default behavior)
> # "Current Process Group" (search only within the currently open process
> group)
> This could be implemented as a dropdown or filter option near the existing
> search box.
