O.P. You cant search for text in the log viewer...
You can search for say "x" in all the logs and it will show you logs where "x" appears" but if you click a log where "x" appears and it opens up, you can search exactly where "x" appears (more so if it appears more than once" in that log.


Fuck Yuna,
Patchou, you should have never done it :(

Uhm... Indeed... where is the issue though?

I may not have explained correctly. My apoligies.

I open up the Chat Log Viewer and hit the "Search in log(s)..." option. I search for the word "Hello" (which is now even slower than before) and It comes up with all the conversation files that include the world "Hello". I click on one of them and it opens it up but there used to be a option that says "Find" in the main Chat Log Viewer where I can find other places in that same conversation where the world "Hello" appears or another word that I want (for example I want to search for "Hello" first then "riahc4" after it finds all the conversations that have "Hello"). That option is not there anymore.

I apoligize Menthix for not explaining correctly my issue/problem.

Slightly offtopic but to the O.P., please don't make double threads. People *will* notice your first thread, no need for a second the same. Thank you.

That option is still there and in an even much more powerful way.

After searching "hello", simply change the 'Location' in the Search window to "Found Files subset" and search for "riahc4" to narrow your first search down.

Or, after searching "hello", double click on a found chat log and then change the 'Location' in the Search window to that specific chat log and search again with a different text.

And searching within a displayed chat log is also still possible by pressing the Find shortcut (CTRL-F). That hasn't been removed either.

As you can see, the searching facility got a lot better. Thus I don't see any reason for a "Fuck Yuna! Patchou, you should have never done it.".
