general search

[shroffk]

I am hoping to add a new search functionality which would support searching across all text fields simultaneously.

match=some text

Would match any any log entry where the terms "some" or "text" appear anywhere in the title or source/desc
@georgweiss what are your thoughts

Currently I do not intend to support wildcards... unless someone can make a compelling argument for it.

I can already hear my users requesting support for "some && text" as well as "some || text".

Would it be an alternative to imply match=some text -> "some || text", while match="some text" would match the exact (case insensitive) phrase? This would however not cover the case "some && text" irrespective of where in the log entry the words occur.

Sounds good to me (as a person who has only prototyped OLOG so far)

Hang on... I think I need to rephrase my previous comment. I am mixing this up with desc=some,text, which is a different use case.

I think I need to think this over once more.
