Searching the Network Analyzer logs
You can search the Network Analyzer log files for matching text using two search
types: Quick Search and Full Search.
You can use Quick Search to find results more quickly if your search terms are
relatively simple and you only need to search indexed log fields. Indexed log fields
are those that appear with a filter icon when browsing the logs in column view;
unindexed log fields do not contain a filter icon for the column or do not appear in
column view, but do appear in the raw log view. Quick Search keywords cannot
contain:
• special characters such as single or double quotes (‘ or “) or question
marks (?)
• wild card characters (*), or only contain a wild card as the last character of a
keyword (logi*)
You can use Full Search if your search terms are more complex, and require the
use of special characters or log fields not supported by Quick Search. Full Search
performs an exhaustive search of all log fields, both indexed and unindexed, but is
often slower than Quick Search.
