Warp: Global File Search Across Current Directory

IDE-Style File Search Comes to the Terminal

The January 21, 2026 Warp release introduced global file search — the ability to search for text across all files in the current working directory directly from within the terminal using Cmd+F (or Ctrl+Shift+F on Windows/Linux).

For developers who work primarily in the terminal, this closes a practical gap that previously required context-switching: either opening a separate IDE or code editor to run a project-wide search, or dropping to a grep command and manually interpreting the output. Global file search in Warp brings that capability inline with the terminal workflow, accessible with a familiar keyboard shortcut.

How It Works

The feature searches across files in the current working directory — meaning the scope is tied to wherever the terminal session is rooted, making it contextually relevant to the active project. Results surface matching files and content locations in a searchable panel, enabling quick navigation.

Extended Web Search Model Coverage

The same release extended Warp's web search capability to additional AI models. Previously, real-time web search as a context source for agent responses was limited to a specific set of models. The expansion means more model choices in Warp's agent workflows can now incorporate live web results, giving developers flexibility to use their preferred models without sacrificing access to current information.

Saved AI Prompts as Agent Workflows

Also included in this release: the ability to save AI prompts as agent workflows via a context menu. This allows developers to capture frequently used prompts — project setup sequences, code review instructions, debugging templates — and quickly invoke them without retyping, nudging Warp's agent capabilities toward a more structured, repeatable workflow model.
