In the main view of LANconfig, the QuickFinder is located in the toolbar. Entering a search term in the search window reduces the number of available devices in the list. LANconfig searches through all the values available in the columns in the device list, including any hidden columns. Click on the icon next to the magnifying glass to make the search case sensitive.
If you are looking for a particular value or term in LANconfig or in the configuration, QuickFinder quickly displays all of the locations where the string occurs in the LANconfig dialogs.
- Start LANconfig.
- Open the device configuration that you want to search through.
- In the search box, type the phrase that you are looking for e.g. wlan. Searching is not case-sensitive. You can enter parts of words or numbers, as well as complete strings. If there are spaces in the search string, then only strings containing the matching spaces will be searched for. The search function does not support wildcards.
The configuration tree in the left pane of LANconfig is now reduced to just those sections that feature the search string:
Select an area in the configuration (e.g. ) to view the relevant search results framed in color in the configuration dialog:
Use the navigation buttons 
'back' and 
'forwards' to move between the most recently visited dialogs: For quick access to the last 10 visited dialogs, click on the arrow to the right of the 'forwards' button:
Click on the 'x' to the right of the search box to clear the search and display all entries in the configuration again.
An option to reduce the number of search results is to select the sections where LANconfig should limit the search to. Click on the magnifying glass to the left of the search box and select or deselect the required categories. Here you can also specify whether the search should highlight the results in color, or whether the configuration tree is to be reduced to the relevant dialogs only:
For example, your configuration may contain settings for your Internet provider. To find these you just have to enter the name to find all of the places in the configuration that refer to this provider.
You can search for text from the following areas:
- Entries in the configuration tree
- Names of the sections in each configuration dialog
- Parameter
- Values of the parameters
- Explanatory texts in the dialogs
- Table names
- Column names in tables
