I don’t know if this is new in 7.0x or was always there in 6.5, but I’ve just discovered “Search in results” tick box under the “more” settings when searching within a view.

How many times have you poured through your logs searching for when a compact job finishes, or looking for a mail message id, or some other particular incident?

I generally do not full text index my server logs, but do use the “Search This View” under the View menu which brings up the familiar search query bar above the view that is present when a database is full text indexed.

When using this to search a view that is not full text indexed, it is probably not efficient whatsoever. However, I’ve always thought this was a trade off with having the server full text index the log continuously.

When searching a view that is not full text indexed, your results may vary. I’ve always noticed that your results may vary even when a database is full text indexed.

Searching the log can be a tedious task as we all know. Choosing to search within results can significantly narrow down this tedious task.
