Searching in Unit Viewer?

Post by 76mm »

Can someone explain how to use the search box in the unit viewer? Generally it will find the first occurrence of the search term, but I can't figure out how to get it to find any more.

Between that and the fact that the Unit Viewer does not list platoons in alphabetical order, it is not a very convenient tool.

If you start typing what the unit is called, the Units area will refresh to whatever you are searching for.

Typing in "Rifle Platoon 48 A" in France will refresh the Units area so Rifle Platoon 48 A is at the top of the list.

The Unit Viewier is organized the same way the platoon file is laid out; armour, SPAA, SPAT, SPARTY, recce, transport, support weapons, artillery, infantry, misc, hq's, helicopters, aircraft.

It's actually quite useful, especially the compare feature, once you figure out how to use it.

Sorry, no "Find Next" feature yet, just first occurence

I'm planning to incorporate filter-like search but it is on my to-do list with low priority

No worries, now that I understand how it works. Thanks for the great tool.
