You can invoke the search function from different locations in the syslogd browser dialog. You can limit a search operation to a single active syslogd UNIX file, a single archive, or a combination of active syslogd UNIX files and associated available archives.

Message tags are typically component names. PID availability depends on
options set by the logging application. UserID and Jobnames are available
for local messages if syslogd is started with the -u option.
UserID, jobname, message tag, and remote host name will always be
case insensitive.
Press ENTER to start search or the END PF key to return with no search
Tip: The case sensitive option applies to search strings 1 - 4 only. The User ID, Job name, Message tag, and Rem. host name fields are not case sensitive.
Rule: A message must match all the specified search arguments to be considered a hit.
