Using

When you run the plugin, a search window appears:

At the top of the plugin window there is a field for filling the value that the Schedule you are searching should contain. You can specify multiple search values by typing them in the delimiter character. In this case, only the Schedule that contains all the specified values will be searched.

To quickly enter a delimiter character, just type two spaces in a row.

Next, specify where to search for the entered values:

Field name – in the names of fields or parameters
Column name – in column header names
Cell value – in cell values.

Below you can specify additional settings:

Delimiter symbol – change the delimiter character used to separate multiple values specified in the search field
Ignore case – case insensitive search for values
Search substring – indicates that the value entered in the field is part of the search value. For example, to search for a value Basic it will be enough to specify in the search field Bas and check this box.

Next are the search controls, a field with progress and search status

Find – run a Schedule search using the specified parameters
Clean – clear input field for search
Cancel – closing the plugin window

In the event that the Schedule with the desired values are found, a window with search results will be displayed:

When you double-click the left mouse button on the line in the list of results, a detailed search result window will be displayed:

At the bottom of the window is the Open schedule button, which allows you to display a Schedule with the search values.
