Search in Module

Information

• There is an option to search for the occurrence of a particular character string in the data of a selected/opened module. The data display will remain unchanged at first, the searched character string will be highlighted. This option will be described in this topic.
• Another option is to restrict the data displayed in the module in line with particular specifications. The process is called filtering and is described here. 

Procedure

• Activate the module in which you want to perform the search.
• Display the search bar at the bottom of the screen:
  • via Data → Search in module or
  • via the CTRL + F key combination.
• enter the required search string in Search:
  • It will automatically be scrolled to the first character string which coincides with the search value and the string will be highlighted in green.
    • If you cannot see the match, it may be in the hidden part of a data field (the field is too short).
• You can navigate to further matches:
  • via the Down button or via F3
    • Move to the next hit (down). The first hit will be highlighted in green.
  • via the Up button or via SHIFT + F3
    • Move to the previous hit (up). The first hit will be highlighted in green.

Details

• The search bar is module-related, i.e. if another module is activated, it will not be visible in the newly opened module. To search in a newly opened module, you have to open its search bar.
• Back in the previous module, you can focus the Search field by pressing CTRL + the F key.
  • If there is an entry in the input field, it will be marked.
• If the Search field is focused, you can close the search bar by pressing the ESC key.
• Other functions:
  • Case sensitivity button (ALT + G)
    • Defines whether case sensitivity is to be considered.
  • Highlight button (ALT + H)
    • Defines whether all hits are to be highlighted in yellow.
  • Use regular expressions button (ALT + R)
    • Defines that the search term is analyzed as regular expression.

Note

• Every time you enter a new character in the search string, the entire string will be searched.
• As soon as no more matches are found for the current string, the search field will be colored red, telling you that any further input of characters will be pointless.
• Text on buttons is excluded from the search.
