Searching in Windows Registry

You can search for keys and values in the Windows registry. Specify the text or regular expression you want to match in key or value names, or in value data.

To search in the Windows registry:

1. Open the Windows Registry Search dialog box:

   Menu:	Plugins/Registry Editor/Search in Windows Registry...
   Context menu:	Open the context menu in the panel (right-click or Shift+Alt+F10) and choose Search...

2. Specify what you are searching for in the Search for field.
3. Specify where you want to search in the Look in field. If you open the Windows Registry Search dialog box from a panel with an open path to the registry, this field will be initialized to that path.
4. To specify additional options, select the Show Options check box.
5. Choose the Find Now button.
6. Found items are shown in the Found Items list view. You can press the Space key on a found item to focus it in the active panel.
