Finding Data in a Grid

The right-click context menu for any data grid contains a Find submenu with the options Find, Find Previous, Find Next and Find Column.

Find

Selecting Find opens the quick search field. You can also click the Find button (the magnifying glass) in the grid toolbar, press Ctrl+F, or start typing in the grid.

As you type your search text, matching cells are highlighted. To move between them, use Find Next and Find Previous, press F3 and Shift+F3, or use the Up and Down arrow keys in the search field. Press Escape to clear the search field, and press it again to close the field.

By default, only the rows with matching cells are shown. In result sets, the Data tab and monitors, you can uncheck the Filter option to the right of the search field to show all rows and only highlight the matches.

For more information, see Using Quick Search and the Quick search section in Viewing Table Data.

Find Column

Selecting Find Column (Ctrl+Alt+F) allows you to search for column names rather than cell data. Typing a column name highlights matching column headers at the top of the grid, making it easy to locate specific fields in wide tables.
