Searching log files (multiple word search)

markcasey

Is it possible to perform multiple word searches?

For example, I want to search the content filter for the words "facebook.com" and "fbcdn.net". Is there a specific syntax or format I'm meant to use or does it simply use the exact term I enter into the search box? (so I'm limited to a single search term)

I'm essentially wanting something where I can enter "facebook.com OR fbcdn.net" and it then lists out all entries. At the moment I'd have to do two separate searches to do that.

  • Hi

    This question is from 2008 but i'm facing the same issue with multi searches in the logs for my WebFilter.

    I'm trying to look for a bunch of Indicator of Compromise (IOC) domains for the past year.

    I tried the suggesting here https://www.sophos.com/en-us/support/knowledgebase/117278.aspx 

    (term1 | google.com)
    term1 | google.com
    term1 OR google.com

    Nothing worked, is multiple word search possible if not. is there a grep or zgrep command that can search the compressed archives?

    I would have thought that the first option would work on the 'Search Log Files' tab.  You can grep with that by enclosing it with ' like '(term1 | google.com)'.

    Cheers - Bob
