Find the records you need without scanning every row
A large export can make a simple question surprisingly slow to answer: which orders mention a particular product, which customers live in a certain city, or whether an ID appears in the file at all? The CSV Search Tool checks the text in your table and gathers the rows that contain the value you enter.
Search all columns when you only know the phrase, or choose a specific field to avoid unrelated matches. For example, searching north across the whole table may find the word in a note as well as the Region column. Limiting the search to Region makes the result easier to interpret.
Choose a search that fits your question
By default, the search ignores letter case, so Delhi and delhi match alike. Turn on Match case when capitalization matters. The tool looks for a phrase inside a cell, which is useful for partial names, fragments of an email address, and codes embedded in longer text.
The results keep the original columns and include each matching row once, even when the phrase appears in several cells in that row. A search with no matches still shows the column headings, so an empty result is clear rather than confusing.
Use the search results
- Open a CSV, TSV, or delimited TXT file, or paste the data into the box.
- Enter a word or phrase and choose whether to search all columns or one field.
- Review the matching rows in the table, then copy or download the results as CSV.
The original file stays unchanged. The browser reads and searches the data locally; it is not sent to RomitCSV. Files up to 50 MB are supported. If the result is empty, check the spelling, selected field, and Match case setting.
Questions about searching CSV files
Can I search only one column?
Yes. Choose a field from Search in. Select All columns when the value could appear anywhere in a row.
Does search find part of a cell?
Yes. The phrase can appear anywhere within the cell. For example, searching mar can match [email protected].
Are searches case-sensitive?
No, by default. Turn on Match case to distinguish uppercase and lowercase letters.
Will a matching row appear more than once?
No. A row is included once even if several of its cells contain the search phrase.
Can I save only the matching rows?
Yes. Download CSV exports the visible search result with the original column headings.
Is my CSV uploaded?
No. The file is read and searched in your browser.
Search, filter, or inspect the whole file?
Use CSV Filter when you need conditions such as equals, starts with, or is empty. Use the CSV Table Viewer to browse and sort a complete table, or visit all CSV tools.
