- 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.

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 allowsallowed. 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 list of found nodes will not be shown in the resultschanged, but their latest state will be reflected.
