Is there an existing issue for this?

Summary

With a multi-level collection setup like this:

The search feature seems to stop working after the second tier:

On the other hand, searching for Level Two shows:

Additionally, it would be delightful if successful searches could auto-expand the structure down to the matching item - as show in the final screenshot above, it only seems to display the top-most parent folder for the matched search item.


Thank you so much for everyone's collective efforts on this application, it's been wonderful to use so far.

Why should this be worked on?

Improves application usability

hi @alexduhanov are you in your personal workspace or on a separate workspace that you created?

@thetronjohnson - as far as I can tell, this is all in a personal workspace (denoted by the Personal Workspace > Collections text above the Search box. I am not logged into Hoppscotch in any way.

Also I should have specified when I first logged the issue - I'm using the standalone x64 macOS download of Hoppscotch, Version 24.3.0-1 (20240328.194626).

Please let me know if I can provide any additional details!

this helps, we've a workspace refactor in progress right now, and this should be fixed once the refactor is done

Is this refactor still in place? Getting migrated into Hoppscotch as of 2026 and this is the current biggest "issue" for multi level folders. Let me know if I need to change my workspace structure. Trying to search still breaks in the 3rd tier.
