This menu item opens the Find dialog, which allows you to search for specific terms in the recorded or restored trace data. As long as no other search options have been selected, this feature performs a wildcard search for the entered search term in all of the available columns. The results window lists all hits containing the entered search term.
In order to specifically search for trace entries of a certain category or with a specific date, enter for example firewall or 2013/08/09 and click Start.
You also have the following search options:
- Match case: Enables a case-sensitive search.
- Match whole word: Enables the search for whole words or disables the search for substrings. In this case a search, for example, for VPN only returns entries where the term as such is present. Terms such as VPN-Packet fall outside of the search pattern.
- Max. one hit per message: Collects multiple hits for a term within a trace entry into a single search hit.
- Find in all trace windows: Extends the search to all open result windows. Otherwise the search is limited to the results of your last search. Also see the chapter Cascaded find.
- Show results in new window: The results are displayed in a new window.
