Yesterday, I implemented a find-by-text feature for Policy Plus policies. Today I adjusted its searcher to be a lot smarter. It now understands quoted strings and wildcard words. There's also a new Find Next feature: striking the F3 key or clicking
Find →
Find Next now causes the focus to be moved to the next policy in the search results that's visible. The
Search Results menu item's hotkey was changed to Shift+F3.
After committing those changes, I added a find-by-Registry feature. The query dialog has one textbox for a key path/name and one textbox for a value name. Only one of them has to be filled, but if both are, policies must have a Registry key-value pair that matches both.

Searching for policies that affect a Registry key with "peernet" as one of the path components |

Results of the above |
The results can be narrowed down by also searching for a specific value name. For example, adding "disabled" in the value textbox results in only four policies being found. Specifying that "peernet" is the last path component (by putting
*\peernet in the key field) narrows it down to one.
The changes are
live on GitHub.
