The search terminal is Rover’s command palette for the blockchain: open it with CMD‑K to define rich, structured searches across transactions, addresses, assets, and blocks.

​
Overview

Everything in Rover starts from the search terminal. It lets you turn natural questions into precise queries, so you can slice the chain by wallet behavior, asset flows, fee usage, and more from a single interface. Searches you build here power views and detail pages throughout the product. Cmd K Open
The search terminal supports both precise, building‑block searches and an optional Semantic search mode for natural‑language queries. If you prefer to start from plain language, see Semantic Search for details.

​
Using the search terminal

You can work with the search terminal entirely from the keyboard or with your mouse, depending on your preference.
  • Press CMD‑K to open the search terminal from anywhere in Rover.
  • Use ↑ and ↓ to move through suggested categories, building blocks, and values.
  • Press TAB or ENTER to select the highlighted suggestion and add it to your query.
  • Type logical operators like AND, OR, and NOT, or use parentheses ( ) to group building blocks.
  • Hit CMD‑ENTER to run the current search and open the results view.

​
Search categories

Rover organizes on‑chain data into four search categories: Transactions, Addresses, Assets, and Blocks. When you open the terminal, you can either start typing or pick a category first to see the building blocks available for that type of object. Each category exposes its own set of searchable properties, such as Transaction Feeor Block Number, represented visually as building blocks in the terminal. Categories are color‑coded so you can quickly see which “family” a search belongs to as you compose it.

​
Building blocks

A building block is a property you can filter on within a category, like Transaction Fee, From, Asset, or Block Number. Think of them as Lego bricks: each block represents one constraint, and combining blocks defines the slice of the chain you care about. You can scroll or use the arrow keys to browse all building blocks for the current category directly inside the terminal. Multiple blocks from the same category can be combined to create expressive searches without writing code.

​
Combining blocks with operators

The terminal supports logical operators such as AND, OR, NOT, and parentheses ( ) for grouping. This makes it possible to express queries like “transactions with high fees AND from a specific address, but NOT interacting with a given contract.” Blocks must come from a single category in any given search, transaction blocks with transaction blocks, asset blocks with asset blocks, and so on, so your query always targets one type of object at a time. The color of each token in the query line helps you see at a glance that your building blocks all belong to the same family.

​
Syntax sugar and smart paste

The terminal automatically cleans up and completes what you type so your query stays valid, even if you do not explicitly enter every operator.
You can paste a transaction hash, address, or token identifier directly into the terminal, and Rover will detect what it is and route you to the appropriate search or detail page.

​
Ways to use the terminal

There are three main ways to build searches:
  • Type to search: Start typing and let the terminal suggest matching building blocks, categories, and values inline.
  • Browse by category: Select a category first for a guided experience; inside each building block, suggested values help you refine your search.
  • Natural language translator: Use plain language to describe what you are looking for, and Rover converts it into a structured set of building blocks.
Once your query looks right, press CMD‑ENTER to run it and load the results where you can sort, save, and continue your exploration.
Once you are comfortable with manual building blocks, you can also turn on Semantic Search CMD I to describe what you want in plain language and let Rover build the query for you. Learn more in the Semantic Search page.
This example walks through building a transaction search filtered to a specific set of assets using the CMD‑K terminal. Cmd K Example
1

Open the terminal

Press CMD‑K or click the search bar in the header to bring up the search terminal.
2

Pick a category

Use your keyboard and press ↓ or your mouse, and select Transactions as your search category so you are querying transaction objects.
3

Add an asset building block

With Transactions selected, choose the Asset building block to constrain results to transactions involving particular tokens.
4

Select one or more assets

  • Start typing a token symbol or address (for example, USDT or PYUSD) and select it from the favorites or suggestions list.
  • Repeat to add additional assets so the query reads like “Transactions · Asset = USDT, PYUSD, WBTC, …”.
5

Review the resulting blocks

Notice how each selected asset appears as a chip in the query line and the terminal now shows transaction‑specific building blocks you can add next, such as Amount or Base Fee per Gas.
6

Run the search

  • Press CMD‑ENTER or click Search to execute the query and load a view of all transactions that match your asset filters.
This pattern applies to any category: start in the right family (Transactions, Addresses, Assets, or Blocks), add the building blocks that matter, layer on values, and then run the search when it looks right.
