Search all Shopify theme files at once (Chrome)
Reading Time
Shopify's code editor search only looks inside the file you have open. To search every Liquid, CSS and JS file at once, use the Shopify Theme File Search Chrome extension on Edit code. Works on any theme. Last checked in 2026.
Installing the Google Chrome extension
-
First things first, please ensure you are using the Google Chrome browser. So far this is the only browser possible to do this.
-
Download and install this Chrome Extension.
-
In your Shopify Admin, navigate to Online Store > Themes > Edit Code
-
You'll notice that now there is a new box on the top right corner.
-
Now, just enter the text you're looking for and it will search across every single file.
But doesn't Shopify already does that with the CTRL (command) + F?
The CTRL+F command allows you to search only within one specific file. So, let's say I open up the theme.liquid file and search for the letter "a". It will show the occurrences of this letter uniquely within this file, not every single file.
What this Chrome Extension does is fundamentally give you an "universal" CTRL+F command.
