"Search" field on the Log/History tab: how to use

Question

I have never been able to figure out what and how to search for using the "Search" field on the Log/History tab. I certainly would have liked to look for some things after selecting a commit in that tab (e.g. strings in the diffs displayed), but never was I able to initiate any kind of search using that search field.

It just happens to be that way due to engineering time-constraints. This will be much improved in the next major release. Thanks!

Hi!

Thank you very much; now, for the first time, I see that search field really working!

Never used it for uncommitted changes (being mostly on the "File status" tab for them).

What a pity that this search is limited to uncommitted changes!  Why is that?  Will that change?

As long as this (harsh) limitation exists:  What about e.g. a tooltip for that field, so that people have the chance to be aware?

Many thanks again and kind regards!

Hello! Search on the log/history tab only searches file-names in the uncommitted changes.
