Searching, finding and modifying objects

Tosca Commander allows any objects to be searched by providing two different search functions: Simple Search and TQL Search (TQL = Tosca Query Language).

When the search dialog is opened, the search function that has been most recently used is selected (Simple Search or TQL Search).

You can start the search function with Home->Search..., by selecting Search from the context menu of an object or by using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + F.

Search function

In Tosca Commander, the search starts from the object that has been selected.

The starting point of the search can be modified by dragging a new element over the Search button.

The number of search results to be shown can be specified via the Options dialog (see setting "Initial restriction of search results").

The status bar can be used to scroll through the search results.

The search window can be minimized and docked at the edge of the workspace:

  1. Use drag and drop to position the window on the edge of a window and dock it there.

  2. A click on the pin icon minimizes a fixed window.
