I would like to quickly find if my process is running by searching its name in htop. I could only find the PID or list all process one by one which not convenient.

1 Answer. Found this in htop manual: Numbers PID search: type in process ID and the selection highlight will be moved to it. So you basically just type in the process PID in the main view without entering search and it will select the process of the entered PID.
Press F3 or / and start typing in the process name to search: highlights closest matching result amongst all entries.
If you only want results matching your query to be shown, you could filter instead: press F4 or \ to filter
From the htop manual:
F3,/: Incrementally search the command lines of all the displayed processes. The currently selected (highlighted) command will update as you type. While in search mode, pressing F3 will cycle through matching occurrences.
F4,\: Incremental process filtering: type in part of a process command line and only processes whose names match will be shown. To cancel filtering, enter the Filter option again and press Esc.
