Filtering and sorting log messages
Filter fields
Each column in the Messages pane has a filter field which is placed just above the column header.
A filter field allows text entry and remembers the most recently entered values in its drop-down
list. The contents of the filter field serves to filter messages for display in the Messages pane
based on the value of the corresponding column. Message filtering is performed “live” while a
filter value is being entered or updated.
Each Message pane has its own distinct copy of current filter values; the filter values are persistent
across sessions.
To set all filter fields to their default values (i.e. blank except for the time stamp filter), choose
the "Reset all filters" menu item in the context menu for the Messages pane.
Search terms
A blank filter means that all values are allowed in the corresponding column (i.e. no messages
are hidden due to a blank filter).
A filter may contain a number of “search terms” separated by a white space. There is support
for quotes so a search term can contain whitespace. There are no explicit Boolean operators. All
comparisons are case insensitive.
Multiple search terms in the same filter are logically ORed (i.e. the filter allows any of the values
in the corresponding column). The effects of multiple filters are ANDed (i.e. only messages that
pass both filters are shown).
Search term semantics differ slightly depending on the data type of the corresponding column,
as described in the following table.
