How do I extend Burp's Search functionality to look for text maintained by my plugin?

sherlock | Last updated: Sep 15, 2023 03:39AM UTC

I have developed a plugin that encodes/decodes the traffic to/from an web app. The web app in question uses a custom encoding making it impossible to search inside the POST request bodies. I can extend my plugin or develop another Logger-like plugin that maintains a list of decoded requests. Is there any way to extend Burp's default search to look into the decoded requests from my plugin? I am trying to avoid reimplementing a Search myself to cut down on the engineering effort. Any alternative suggestion is also welcome.

Hi Would using your extension to add comments to flag interesting requests, which you could then search for in Burp search, allow you to achieve a similar goal?
