Likewise, each window is separate from the other windows, each containing their own set of tabs and therefore servers.
Searching for nodes
ecFlowUI has a built-in fast, powerful search engine. To activate the search dialogue, click the Search button on the toolbar, or choose Tools | Search from the main menu. Alternatively, right-click on a node in the tree and select Search from the context menu - the search will be performed on that node and its descendants.
The search dialogue is split into three parts - the editor, the generated query and the results.
The Scope section allows you to specify which server(s) to restrict the search to. ALL means that all servers in the current tab will be searched. The root node for the search can also be set here - only that node and its descendants will be searched.
The Nodes section by default specifies no filtering, and thus will find all nodes. The node name and path can be specified using 3 possible syntaxes:
- Matches is a wildcard match, similar to UNIX file syntax, where "
*" means "any number of any characters" and "?" means "one of any character", e.g. "*monitor*". If no wildcard characters are used, the result will be that only those nodes whose names/paths exactly match the string will be found. This is often the simplest way of searching. See http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qregexp.html#wildcard-matching. - Regexp is a regular expression match, using the Qt regexp syntax. The regexp equivalent of the above example would be ".*monitor.*". See http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qregexp.html#introduction.
- Contains finds nodes whose names/paths contain the given regular expression as a substring; similar to Regexp, but can find more nodes since the regexp only needs to match a substring rather than the whole name.
The Type selection box by default has no entries checked. This means that the type of the node will not be checked, so nodes of all types may be found. Checking the node type boxes restricts the search to only those node types.
The Status selection box works in a similar way to the Type selection box.
The Flag box is also similar - if nothing is selected, then nodes will be found regardless of their flags; otherwise, the search will be restricted to just those nodes that contain the specified flags.
The Query section shows the query which is generated from the selections in the dialogue.
Once the options have been set, click the Search button. The results panel will be populated with the found nodes. The nodes have the normal context menu, allowing you to perform actions on them straight from the results box. Multiple node selection is allows. Clicking on a node here also selects it in the node tree.
An important thing to note about the search results is that the found nodes will be updated when ecFlowUI syncs with the server. The same nodes will be shown in the results, but their latest state will be reflected.
