A search function that looks for flows that contain a certain device or variable would be very useful.  
As an example: searching for my “outdoor lamp” results in a list of all flows in which this device is used.

This is possbile with the special flowcard Get Flows Containing of the [Device Capabilities](https://homey.app/a/nl.qluster-it.DeviceCapabilities/) app.

You can search devices, apps, variables, etc.  
It will look for cards in flows but also tokens etc.
