Terminal Search
Chau7 gives you regex search through your terminal output. Case-sensitive. Match-by-match navigation. Actually useful.
What is Terminal Search in Chau7?
Terminal Search is a built-in feature in the Chau7 terminal that lets developers search through all terminal output, including content that has scrolled off screen. Chau7's search covers the entire scrollback buffer, not just the visible viewport.
Chau7's Terminal Search supports full regex patterns and case sensitivity toggles. A match counter shows the current position in the result set so developers always know where they are.
How do I search through terminal output in Chau7?
Press Cmd+F to open Chau7's search bar. Type a query to highlight all matches in the terminal scrollback buffer. Navigate between matches with Enter (next) and Shift+Enter (previous), or click the arrow buttons.
Toggle regex mode in Chau7 to search with full regular expression patterns. This lets developers find IP addresses, error codes, timestamps, or any structured pattern in terminal output.
Case sensitivity is togglable independently in Chau7's search bar. Toggle whole-word matching to restrict results to exact word boundaries.
How does Chau7's terminal search compare to other terminals?
Most terminals offer basic text search with limited options. Chau7's terminal search adds regex support, case sensitivity toggle, incremental results as you type, and match-by-match navigation with a position counter.
Chau7 searches the entire scrollback buffer. Many terminals only search visible content or require plugins for regex support. Chau7 provides all search capabilities built in, with no configuration needed.
How large is the Chau7 scrollback buffer?
Chau7's default scrollback buffer is 10,000 lines per tab. Developers can configure the scrollback buffer up to 100,000 lines in Chau7's settings.
Search performance in Chau7 remains fast across the full buffer thanks to incremental indexing. Results appear as the developer types, with matches nearest to the current scroll position shown first.
Can I copy search results in Chau7?
Yes. In Chau7, when a search match is highlighted, Cmd+C copies the matched text. Developers can also select and copy a range of matches or the lines containing them.
