Use the Configuration Manager 2007 Find Status Message dialog box to find the next message in Status Message Viewer that meets the criteria you specify. The search starts from the currently selected message (or the last message in a multiple selection). Only the status messages which are currently displayed in the status message viewer window are searched.

This dialog box contains the following elements:

Find

The asterisk (*) wildcard character is allowed in all fields and is especially useful in the Description field. Without wildcards, you would have to type the complete description to get a match.An empty field matches all status message values for that field.
