### Active Layer Search Feature Matching

The active layer search functionality enhances search efficiency by focusing exclusively on the currently active layer and specific fields within it.

- **Activation**: To enable this search functionality, use the `f` prefix.
- **Search Scope**: Unlike the comprehensive search across all layers, this feature allows for searches using single characters due to its prefix-based approach. It matches not only feature display names but also all text and numerical fields.
- **Results Highlighting**: When an attribute match is found, both the attribute name and its value are highlighted. Additionally, the feature's display name is displayed as a secondary line in the search results (as demonstrated in the screencast above).
- **Field-Specific Search**: To narrow down your search to a specific field, use the syntax: `f @ATTRIBUTE_NAME search-term`. This allows for targeted searches within the chosen attribute.
