Hi Team,
There should be a convenient feature for the user to search logs by adding filter pills.
As of now the users should write queries in your language to procure the logs they desire. Can you provide a GUI for the user to filter logs?
For example: If we want to remove three statements, we need to write a query in the filter: content!=*"statement 1"* AND content!=*"statement 2"* AND content!=*"statement 3"*
Instead how about giving a GUI as shown below:
You give many options to add such trios and now you give a search option to the right side.
Is there any reason why GUI part for log filter was skipped? Or was this never considered at all?
If there is a convenient way to filter logs, then the users can procure their logs with ease.
Writing a query is definitely not a convenient way for the end user.

This feature actually already exists in the Logs app (new UI / Grail-based). The filter bar supports exactly what you're describing — pill-based content filtering with GUI operators.
When you add a filter on the content attribute, you get these operators without writing any DQL:
- Contains / Doesn't contain
- Starts with / Doesn't start with
- Ends with / Doesn't end with
- Equals / Doesn't equal
- Matches phrase / Does not match phrase
So for your example of excluding three statements, you can add multiple filter pills using "Doesn't contain" for each statement — no query syntax needed, see screenshot
Thanks,
Sujit
