ArcGISPro - Search Attribute table

RickyReid — Thu, 05 Feb 2015 19:13:14 GMT

In arcmap you have the option of pressing ctrl-f to search through an attribute table. Is Pro missing this functionality or am I just not finding?

Hi Ricky,

You are correct - Pro doesn't have that feature in 1.0.

In 1.1 we plan to add the ability to search and find a feature in a layer (that is, search for a value and find feature/s that match). It will probably be 1.2 before we enable that same function for standalone tables.

Thanks, Nathan.

Was the search and find a feature in a layer ability added to 1.1? I'm unable to find it anywhere.

Still unable to find it in 1.2 as well.

Unable to ctrl+f in 1.4 now. Is this going to be added?

You can search using the *Locate *tool, and just add the list of layers

(shapefiles or features) to search under Settings. Not quite as simple as

ArcMap but I really like the search output.

Control F would be much better and simpler to use. I have used the locate option to find a feature in a layer, but if you work with a great many layers, it's a PITA to use the "Configure Layer for Locate" each time. Now we're up to 2.1.2. Can you provide a better estimate when Control F to search an attribute table will be added?

Please add this feature! It would be extremely helpful!

Thanks for the feedback, AJ. Good news - it took us a little while, but this capability will be available with the ArcGIS Pro 2.5 release (later this year).

Here's a screenshot of the UI after pressing Ctrl-F on a table view. You can "Find" in the selected column (as shown below), or you can "Find" in all columns. You can also use "Find and Replace" to make edits within the table.

Hope this helps!

Thanks, Nathan.

Thanks Nathan! This is wonderful news. Looking forward to the 2.5 release!

I, too, have been waiting on this (after a long time assuming I just wasn't seeing where it was). I just installed the latest Pro update today. It took Pro to 2.4.3, so not quite 2.5 yet. Sadly, Ctrl-F didn't activate this essential tool. Sad because it would be really helpful for the project I'm working on today.

Nathan, seeing that this thread, and related promises, started with version 1.0 in 2015; we may need to offer you up as a ritual sacrifice to the Esri dev team should the Find feature not be available in 2.5 in short order. Just saying. No hard feelings.

Ha, fair enough. My apologies for the delay. Yes, it is in 2.5, so looks like I get to live another day. Best of luck!

I really Need this -

I am ramping up to 25,000 files on my way to over a million files

and it (Attribute File search ) just has to be there soon...

How's that 2019 year end release coming? I have to find a needle in a haystack in my data and would rather not scroll through thousands of lines...

Sorry, Eric. It was pushed back a bit and the scheduled release day is February 6th.

Is this functionality available in Fields/Domains table view? I can get it to work in my attribute field but not in these others.

Re: ArcGISPro - Search Attribute table

KoryKramer — Tue, 29 Sep 2020 15:06:04 GMT

It is possible to filter text to help find text in Domains View

Is there a way to search multiple geodatabase tables at once using the ctrl+f type functionality? I can search each table separately, one by one, but I have multiple tables I'd like to search.
