Restrict search in responses or requests only

Mattia | Last updated: May 11, 2018 08:45AM UTC

Hello, Burp is awesome, it would be even more awesome if it were possible, when searching for a string, to restrict the search only in requests or responses. For example, searching for an auth token only in the responses, would make it much quicker to find where a cookie or an HTTP header is assigned.

Hi Mattia, Thanks for your message. Unless I am misunderstanding you, you can do this already. In the search window (Burp menu > Search) you can select the locations you want to search in. This includes "request headers" "request body" and more. Please let us know if you need any further assistance.
