# Search the data layer in Session Finder

Session Finder now searches inside the data layer of each session, not only the events sent to your destinations.

Session Finder now searches inside the data layer, not only the events each destination received.

Until now a session search matched the hits sent to GA4, Meta or any other destination. Now it also matches what the page pushed into the data layer, so you can find the sessions where a `purchase` carried no `order_id`, or where a variable was set but never consumed by a tag.

**Who it is for:** anyone debugging an implementation from the source: the value the dataLayer held, and what each destination did with it.

**Where:** Session Finder, in the same search box. Docs: [Session Finder](/docs/session-finder).

    ### See what the agent is checking, and how long it took
    
    While the agent works on an answer, a single line under your question tells you what it is checking right now: the hits it is reading, the warning it is comparing, the query it is running.

    ### AI Debugger Now Available for Consent Warnings
    
    Diagnosing a consent warning used to mean piecing together information manually — cross-referencing consent rates, checking which destinations were affected, and figuring out what changed and when.
