ServiceNow Power Search

Keyboard-first ServiceNow query builder with dynamic field selection, multi-condition search, and reference field resolver.

ServiceNow Power Search is a keyboard-first query builder that lets developers, administrators, and power users build complex ServiceNow encoded queries in seconds — directly from the browser toolbar. SMART FIELD AUTOCOMPLETE Fetches real field names and labels live from your instance's sys_dictionary. Type to filter from hundreds of fields instantly, including fields inherited from parent tables via the full super_class chain. A refresh button forces an immediate reload whenever you need the latest schema. MULTI-CONDITION BUILDER Stack multiple conditions using the + Add button or Ctrl+Enter. Each condition becomes a removable chip. Toggle the join mode between AND and OR per condition. All chips combine automatically into a single encoded query. DOT-WALK RELATED FIELDS Click → on any reference-type field to drill into the referenced table and build dot-walk queries like assigned_to.department.name. A breadcrumb header shows the current path and a ← Back button navigates up. Multi-level traversal is fully supported — go as deep as you need. REFERENCE FIELD RESOLVER Automatically detects reference-type fields (marked with a subtle REF tag). Type a display name and pick from live typeahead results — the extension resolves it to the correct sys_id automatically. Type without picking to get a dot-walk query against the display field instead. CHOOSE WHERE RESULTS OPEN A checkbox below the Value field (checked by default) controls whether running a search opens the result list in a new tab or navigates your current ServiceNow tab — your choice persists between searches. ZERO SETUP REQUIRED Opens with your ServiceNow instance already detected via a live tab badge. If you are viewing a list page, the table is pre-selected automatically. Switch tabs and the badge updates in real time — a non-ServiceNow tab shows a clear error so you always know your context. All API calls run inside your existing browser session — no re-authentication, no credential prompts. SUPPORTED TABLES ITSM (Incidents, Changes, Problems, Requests, Tasks, Approvals), CMDB, Users, Groups, System / Admin scripts and update sets, Knowledge Articles, Stories, and any custom table via free-text entry. KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS ↑↓ navigate fields · Enter/Tab select · Ctrl+Enter add condition · Esc close · Letter keys jump to first matching table in the dropdown PRIVACY No data is collected or transmitted externally.
