Searching for Text in a Report
You can use the Search dialog to find text in the values of a certain field or in the whole report content. To show this dialog, select Menu > Edit > Search, select the Search button 
on the toolbar, or right-click a field value or label (or object such as text box) and select Search on the shortcut menu.
- To find text in the values of a particular field:
- Make sure the Search in Whole Report option in the Search dialog is NOT checked.
- Select the field from the Select Field drop-down list.
- Set the range with which to search for the value from the Value Range drop-down list.
- Select the field value you want to search for from the Value drop-down list.
- Specify whether or not to match case, whether or not to match whole word, whether or not to highlight all the matching values and the searching direction.
- Select the Search button.
- To find text in the report content:
- In the Search dialog, check the Search in Whole Report checkbox.
- Type the string you want to search for in the Value box.
- Set the other options such as the searching direction.
- Select the Search button.
Notes:
- Finding text in the values of a particular field is not supported on crosstabs and charts.
- If you check Highlight All in the Search dialog, to clear the highlighting in the search result, uncheck the option and submit the search again, or refresh the report.
- If you have not selected the Search in Whole Report option, you will not be able to search special fields for strings.
- When All is selected in the Value Range drop-down list, the only item in the Value drop-down list will be All and cannot be changed. In this case when you submit the search, Logi JReport will search for all the values of the selected field.
