To see this information about a node, either right-click on the node and choose one of the options from the context menu such as "Output ...", "Script ..." or "Job ...", or create an Info Panel - information for the selected node will appear there. The script, job and output tabs have much in common, so most of the information below is true relevant for them all.

- to change the font size, click on the two 'A' buttons; alternatively, hold down the CTRL button whilst moving the mouse wheel
- to bring up the search bar, click the magnifying glass
- to go to a particular line in the file, click the magnifying glass/123 icon
All these buttons contain have tooltips, providing further information about their keyboard shortcuts if you hover the mouse cursor over them.
Searching for text
The search bar allows for powerful text searching within the viewed file.
...
- 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 strings that exactly match the string search expression will be found. This is often the simplest way of searching. See also 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 also 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.
Note that the search works within a line, not between lines.
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 almost immediately (but see Large file mode, below).

Beneath the output file is a list of files available for that node. The one defined by ECF_JOBOUT is considered to be the the current one, and will be selected by default. It is highlighted in the file list. Select a file to view itits contents.

- if the search bar is open and contains a search term, then its search is performed
- otherwise, if the viewed file is the current output for the selected node, an automatic search for keywords is invoked: search backwards through the document for the stringsthe strings
--abortand--complete; it is intended to make this behaviour user-configurable in the future.
