Searching based on a selected value in a custom column?

[Numpsy]

A thought that i had while using the 4.2.4 release (I see there have been some search changes recently, so I don't know what the actual unreleased state is), but I did'nt see an option in this version, so:

Say I have something like this log from an ASP.Net Core app:

Where all the log entries have a RequestId property that gets set up by ASP itself.
In this trivial case, all the entries for a request are in a stack, but if there are multiple clients hitting the service at once then you might get the logging for many requests all intermixed.

So - I'm wondering if it would be useful to be able to do something like right click on a cell, and launch a search for all matching values from there (any then use that to get the subset of all events that match that one request)?

right now I'm in the process of adding in-place search and filter: #269
also right click currently has hard coded Exclude text,source and process/module:

do you mean you wish new options to include / Exclude current Cell: XXX where the value will be added to the include/exclude columns:

btw, I'll release version 4.2.5 tomorrow probably with the following release notes:

-Exclude source/module/text does not clear the hints text. #259

In this example, I'm thinking - right click on a row in the RequestId column, and start a search for the text in that cell (so, search for all logs entries whose RequestId is '0HM...' rather than having to enter the text in the search field manually

[LiorBanai]

so basically set a filter for that text and in the filtered list start a search/filter:
you can filter most columns by typing a text in the header row:

[Numpsy]

I hadn't realised that you could do that :-)

[LiorBanai]

You can combine both header filters and primary filters. They can work together.

[Numpsy]

So what i'm asking about is just the ability to start a header filter for the text in a selected cell then.

[LiorBanai]

I don't understand, you cannot type filter in the specific column's header with the cell text?

[Numpsy]

It's a pretty trivial thing, I just thought it'd be easier when searching/filtering on values that aren't particularly 'friendly', e.g.

[LiorBanai]

Ah now I understand. Make the process easier /simplify.. 🙂

@Numpsy
is this what you meant?
Right click a cell and thre is a new option to add it to active column filter:

Yes, thanks :-)
