Searching for text in the event list

You can search the event list for event data that matches a specific value that you enter. You can search for data within a specific column and specify options to narrow down the search.

1. From the event list, click View > Find. The Find window opens.
2. Complete this window as follows:

   Column list/Column

   Select the column on which you want to search.

   Value

   Type the search value that you want to match. You can enter an exact value to search for, or enter a regular expression.

   Options

   Specify the type of match required:

   • Select Case Sensitive if you want to find only occurrences that exactly match the case of the search value. This option is available only on Windows.
   • Click Exact Match to find rows where the data in the selected column exactly matches the specified search value.
   • Click Regular Expression to find rows where the data in the selected column matches the specified regular expression.
   • Click Sub String to find rows where the data in the selected column contains the specified value somewhere in it.

     You can choose only a single option from Exact Match, Regular Expression, and Sub String.

   Find

   Click this button to find the first matching occurrence. If a matching row is found in the event list, any currently-selected rows are deselected, and the matching row is selected. The Find window remains open so that you can view any additional matching occurrences.

   Next
