Example of queries

[lezhnev74]

Hey! Could you share examples of how to use the query for searching strings: A OR B or A AND B or A AND NOT B?
That would be a great documentation page.

hey @lezhnev74 , the search is RegEx capable, in the sense that it just puts everything in the search between / and /i.

So, for example, to search for A OR B, you could just write A|B.
To search for A AND B, you could write A.*B (if A comes first), or B.*A (if B comes first)
To search for A AND NOT B, you could write A.*(?!B)

I'm not super savvy with RegEx, but at least now you know how the search works :) should definitely add this somewhere in the docs

I see something strange here, it won't let me find values in multiline messages like:

{
  "id":"12",
  "type": "Account"
}

The query Account find the message but 12.*Account does not. I am thinking about multiline regexp, do you have a test somewhere that shows how multiline search works in this program?

[lezhnev74]

haha, well this one worked 12(.|\n)*Account

Why did I think multi-line worked before 😲 12.*Account should work! I'll have a look and maybe push a change to improve it :)

Thanks for your feedback!
