Searching with Filters

Of course multiple searches are supported and search requests can be saved and restored as filters.

To search within the opened file, type into the area with the "Type a Search Request" placeholder and press Enter. The search results will be listed as they are with their whole line.

Note: The bottom left shows: Total lines of search results/Total lines of file

Flags

The three buttons on the right side of the search request input are flags to modify the search. Active flags will have a blue background color.

Starting from the left, the first flag defines a Case Sensitive-search. As the name suggests, this flag will make the search case-sesitive when active.

The second flag defines a Match Whole Word-search. With this flag active, the search only lists search results, where the search request matches with just special characters or spaces surrounding the word.

The third flag defines a Use Regular Expression-search. With this flag active it is possible to run searches with Regex (Regular expression).

Note: It is possible to de-/activate search flags while and after starting the search.
