> *Current Behavior:* The search feature located in the upper right corner of the NiFi UI currently searches across the entire NiFi instance, returning results from all process groups and nested levels.
> *Requested Enhancement:* Add the ability to limit the scope of a search to a specific process group and its descendants, rather than always searching the entire NiFi instance.
> *Use Case:* In large NiFi deployments with many process groups and hundreds or thousands of processors, users often need to find components within a specific section of their flow. Being able to search within just the current process group (and optionally its child groups) would:
>  * Reduce noise in search results
>  * Improve search performance for large instances
>  * Help users navigate complex flows more efficiently
>  * Make it easier to work on specific subsections of a dataflow
> *Proposed Implementation:* Add a search scope option that allows users to choose between:
>  # "Entire Instance" (current default behavior)
>  # "Current Process Group" (search only within the currently open process group)
> This could be implemented as a dropdown or filter option near the existing search box.
