Search

At the heart of chipmunk lies its powerful search functionality. chipmunk allows you to create sets of diverse search conditions (called filters), combine them, save them, and apply them as needed for different scenarios.

Creating of filter

To create a filter:

  • focus in search input
  • enter the search condition
  • press "Enter" to activate the search
  • press "Enter" once again or click on the filter icon

As a result, the filter will be saved in a list of filters. Chipmunk supports any number of filters/charts, but the performance of a search depends on the number of filters/charts.

Creating of filters

If some value is present in the search input - it's an active search and search results are present only for this filter.

Any saved filter can be quickly converted to active search via: - context menu "Show matches" - double-click on the filter in a list

Active filter

Managing filters

Checked/Unchecked/Disabled filters

  • Cheked filer will be used to make a search and matches will be shown in a search results view.
  • Unchecked filters will not be used to make a search, but colors still be applied and rows with matches will be highlighted in the main view.
  • Disabled filter will not be considered in the search and will not be highlighted. Disabling filters are useful to turn off some filter completely but still have a way to quickly restore it

Filters manipulation

Importing / Exporting

Filters/charts will be associated with an opened file (or stream). Next time the same file (or stream) is opened, filters/charts will be restored.

At the same time, there are a couple of ways to export/import filters:

  • via the context menu on the list of filters/charts
  • via tab "History/Profiles" to export/import different collections of filters/charts

Import/Export

Breadcrumbs mode allows mixed search results and other content. It's very useful in cases when it's essential to understand what was logged before/after the target occasion.
