In the X-Ray console, you can only search for traces with segment names as each segment typically represents a service. Subsegment names searches are not supported.

What you can do instead is add an annotation to the created subsegment. Something like this should work:

await AWSXRay.captureAsyncFunc('create-connection', function(subsegment) => {
  subsegment.addAnnotation("mykey", "my value");
  ...

Since annotations are indexed, in the X-Ray console you can search traces with annotation like annotation.mykey = "my value"
