I’ve been trying out the new tree style for FB logs and I like the vastly improved readbility.  
It is unfortunately not possible to search in the document unless you manually expand every single node though.  
We regularly find ourselves using the browser’s built in search to find certain log entries in the old style logs and would like to be able to do the same with the new format.

Regards,  
Christoph

Hi Christoph

This will be in the next update as an optional feature (on the export log action). The search will expand nodes when search hits are found and highlight them.

Finally got around to testing this.  
Is it possible to enable this feature through a command line flag too?  
FBcmd.exe itself does not mention anything and the online help ([https://wiki.finalbuilder.com/display/FB8/Command+Line+Version](https://wiki.finalbuilder.com/display/FB8/Command+Line+Version) is what i found) seems to be outdated.

There’s no command line option for this at the moment, we’ll look at adding it in soon.
