This window is shown when you select the Find menu item, and allows you to search for words or regular expressions in the text in the log window.
Enter the string or regular expression you want to search for, in this text field.
You can use the PageUp key on the keyboard to recall the last string you searched for; use the PageUp and PageDown keys to move through the history of all previous search strings. Press the Return key on the keyboard to perform the search.
Select this checkbox if you want the string in the Search for text field to be interpreted as a plain string, i.e. regular expression metacharacters are not significant.
Select this checkbox if you want the string in the Search for text field to be interpreted as a regular expression, i.e. regular expression metacharacters are significant. See the system manual page regex(7) for details of regular expression syntax.
Select this checkbox if you want maketool to search for the search string starting at the currently selected line in the log window and moving forwards (towards the end of the log window).
Select this checkbox if you want maketool to search for the search string starting at the currently selected line in the log window and moving backwards (towards the start of the log window).
Select this checkbox if you want maketool to continue searching from the start of the log window when it reaches the end without finding a matching line (or, if the Search Backwards checkbox is on, continue from the end when it reaches the start without finding a matching line).
Click Find to perform the search. If maketool can find a line in the log window matching the parameters in the Find window, it will select that line, otherwise it will beep and show the message "Pattern not found" in the statusbar.
Once you have performed a search, you can repeat the search without opening the Find window by using the Find Again menu item.
Click Close to close the Find window.
