It is also possible to search for text inside tables (these are used to display the contents of folders, search results and MIME type file associations). Make sure that the table is selected, the easiest way to do this is to select a row inside it, and then enter Ctrl+F. A small text entry field will appear at the table's bottom right hand corner. When text is entered into this entry field, the first matching row in the table is searched for. The format of the search term can either be plain text or an extended regular expression (RE) depending upon what you have selected in the relevant preference option (see Section 7.1). Please see regex(7) for further details on regular expressions.
Only one column is selected for searching at any one time. Normally the most sensible column is automatically selected for you. However, if you want to search a different column then right click on the heading of the column that you wish to search and then select the Select As Search Column menu option. This will remain in effect until another column is selected or the window containing the table is dismissed.
