What to search

This cycle gadget allows you to change search mode. It can either be "Current archive" or "Entire history list". The first one bases the search on the currently displayed archive (in the main window) and the latter bases the search on all archives in the history list.

Search embedded archives

If you have archives inside archives, ticking this will recursively search all of them.

Search results lister

This list gathers the search results. It will be automatically updated when a search is initiated. Double clicking in an entry allows you to view that file (assuming you have a filetype setup for that file, of course).

Open archive

Pressing this will open up the archive (in the main window) that is selected in the search result lister .

Extract file

You can quickly extract the file you have selected in the search result lister via this button. A file requester will be opened.

String search / String

If you'd like to do a string search, then enter the string to be searched for in this string gadget.

String search / UPPERCASE = lowercase

This allows you to adjusts the case sensitivity of the string search.

String search / Start string search

Start the string search. A progress window will appear and all of the results will be gathered in the results lister.

Filename search / Start filename search

Start the filename search. A progress window will appear and all of the results will be gathered in the results lister.
