Searching the channels due game

Recommended Posts

Hey, i'm not sure i should post this here or at all, so be patient with it please.

 

Trying to look something on the channel due game, while messages keep running "up and down", can make you dizzy if not frustrate.

So my suggestion is simple, could it be a "search tool" for looking exactly what you need, like in any other net page?

I guess that if u have "copy" and "paste" now, this shouldn't be so hard :-)

 

Thanx,

Zombie

You mean like the #find command?

 

Go into Console mode

type #find labrat (or whatever the search term)

press Enter

I may have missed it, but it would be good to have it listed in the in-game encyclopedia (I didn't see it under "text commands").

 

Wonder how many other undocumented commands there are out there... :pickaxe:

I believe this is broken, it jumps anywhere but not to the searched term.

It seems to work for me...nothing is highlighted but I end up on the correct "page" for the word I searched for (it's most recent appearance).

OK, and what if this name (whatever i'm looking) is showing more then once on the channel? dose it "jumps like in any other net page?

could add "next" or "back" oppositions to this #FIND command.

also, highlight it wont be bad idea, so i know where i'm.

non that i knew about this commend, it doesn't shown the the encyclopedia.

You can use ctrl-up arrow and resend the command until you find the instance you are looking for.

 

As people have already stated it is much simpler to just search your chat log, it is just a text file after all. In windows I would suggest wordpad to open it rather than notepad - notepad struggles with large files.

 

Either that or google grep windows

looks too encumbered to me.
