Searching for Scopes and Signals
The Search Tab is used to find all scopes or signals that match a
search pattern and exist in a selected section of the hierarchy. The
search results are a function of the currently selected scope, the
search toggle buttons (scopes, signals), the search range, and the
search pattern. Available ranges are All, Selected, and Children:
The filter can accept two wildcard characters: * and ?. The * wildcard
can match zero or more characters. When used alone in the filter, it
can find all instances in the selected range or scope. The ? wildcard
can match any one character.
Range Description
