Search Theme Code
Advanced theme file search tool for developers to locate specific text in Liquid, JavaScript, and CSS code
What is Search Theme Code?
Search Theme Code is an advanced developer tool that searches through your Shopify theme files to find specific text strings in Liquid templates, JavaScript files, CSS stylesheets, and HTML code. It provides comprehensive search capabilities with case-sensitive matching and file format filtering.
This tool is designed for web developers, SEO specialists, and advanced users who need to locate specific code within theme file structure. It searches within the actual code of your theme files, not your store content. Results show file paths, timestamps, and occurrence counts for each match found.
