Search
This function works like a filter allowing you to search for specific words or phrases contained within the Client recording features (Email, Web Sites, Chat/IM, Keystrokes, Snapshots, Peer to Peer, and Programs). The search feature is activated on the tool pars of the features previously listed.
Search is designed to help you locate specific information quickly. Only the data that matches the search parameters you establish is displayed. The search criteria you enter are maintained while you stay in the Viewer.
Example: If you do a Web Sites search and switch to the Chat/IM tab and then come back to the Web Sites tab, the results of the Web Sites search continues to be displayed. You must either do another search or close the Search window in order to view all the recordings for that particular window type again. The dialog box search settings that were entered are saved while you stay in the program. All the settings are global to all tabs except for the "Check In' fields, which are specific to each tab.
The Search dialogue window displays the following fields:
Search for This is where you enter the actual search string
The following rules apply:
All words entered must be found to detect a match
The words can be spread throughout any of the Check In fields selected, i.e. you enter GOOD DAY, select the URL, and Caption check in fields. If the URL contains GOOD and the caption DAY, then it is considered a match
You can use quotes to find phrases, i.e. the words must be found in that specific sequence to match. If you enter hello there it will not match there hello or any other combination. You must have matching quotes or the string will be rejected
Double quotes will be dumped and you will end up with just the words i.e. "hello there" treats the string as two empty phrases and then it looks for the words hello and there in any order
Phrases are space sensitive, hello there will not match hello there
Exact upper and lower case match The default search is case insensitive. If you check this box, the case must match
Include partial word match The default search must find the words surrounded by any character that is not an alpha or numeric character. When you check this box, anywhere the characters appear is considered a match. For example, with the box checked, SOFT would match MICROSOFT
Search in This determines what data fields in which to look for a match. You must check at least one
