Search and filter

Use the search field to narrow down the list of rules or suggestions to those matching certain criteria.

Search Field

While the search field is also available in the Networks view, filter buttons and filter menu are specific to rules and are therefore not available.

Search Term

The search term is split into words (separated by spaces) and a rule matches if it contains all words in the selected search scope.

In the search scope Process (exact match), the search term is not split into words. It is used as-is, including spaces and the entire process name must match the search term. In addition to rules for processes which match the term exactly, rules for Any Process match as well. The search scope therefore finds all rules which have an effect on network filtering for the given process.

Sidebar

The sidebar can be seen as an additional filter which limits the set of rules searched with the search field. A rule group, for instance, pre-filters the rule set to show only rules which have the Group property set to the particular group.

Sidebar

The sidebar is more than just a filter, though: You can drag rules to groups or profiles in order to add them to the group or profile. The Blocklists section does not only filter to the particular blocklist rules, it expands those rules to their individual entries and shows them in the form of rules.

Focus mode

While the filters mentioned so far select the rules shown by their properties, focus mode gets an explicit list of rules to search and filter:
