The spanner icon to the right of the search bar provides more options to customise the search, and also the ability to highlight all matches in the text.
As text is typed into the search bar, the results of the search are updated immediately (but see Large file mode, below).
Job output
The job output tab has some additional functionality over the others, described in the following sub-sections.
File listing
Beneath the output file is a list of files available for that node. The one defined by ECF_JOBOUT is considered to the the current one, and will be selected by default. It is highlighted in the file list. Select a file to view it.
Detailed file information
Since there can be several steps to retrieving an output file, this information is made available by clicking on the Information button in the toolbar.
Reload
Click the Reload button to obtain the latest version of the job output file. Note that these files can become very large, and can take some time to transfer across a network if they are hundreds of megabytes or more.

This should be largely transparent to the user, but when viewing a log file which is greater than 2MB, the file viewer goes into "large file mode", where it loads only the visible portion of the file into memory. This mode gives a massive saving in memory usage and also significantly increases performance.
If the file is larger than 5MB, the search results are no longer updated immediately as text is typed into the search bar; you must hit enter to initiate the search (as indicated in a warning bar). This mode allows the user interface to remain responsive while typing a search term.
