thanks for the detailed note

> My first "sniff test" for observability platforms is a tool to quickly jump to a given trace/span by ID.

You should be able to do this in SigNoz https://www.loom.com/share/71a2a95b76584b3983d9eeebb60ac420?...

> "show this event within the surrounding context"

we have this in the context logs. does this solve your use case or you mean something else? https://www.loom.com/share/9039afd5c4bf45e7b357a22c9943bb32?...

>But you make up for that by having bad search in traces

Did you mean for this to search across all attributes in spans or when you know which attribute you want to search in? If later, than you can do this through our query builder even today.

Your feedback on "Trace View" is fair. We are planning some improvements on that
