At the top of these tabs is a shaded area which provides information about the file being viewed, for instance its size and how it was retrieved (e.g. straight from disk, from a log server or from the ecFlow server).

To the right if of this is a toolbar, providing common buttons to control the following:

Searching for text

The search bar allows for powerful text searching within the viewed file.

The start of the search bar is a verb, representing the search type:

• 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 strings which contain the given regular expression as a substring; similar to Regexp, but can find more matches since the regexp only needs to match a substring rather than the whole string.

The spanner icon to the right of the search bar provides more options to customise the search.
