characters.
To search for more than one pattern, enter the second and third patterns in the Pattern 2 and
Pattern 3 fields. You can specify ten different combinations of patterns as part of search criteria.
You cannot search for special characters or regular expressions, for example, Control-C, boot*,
etc.
You can search the device configuration file without the search pattern too.

If you have entered string as a search pattern, you can select Match Any to search for any given
