<ul>
<li><i><i>weblog</i>s</i> are often used for applications where chronology (time) is relevant, so a very common approach is to see "<I>what happened last</I>". In <b>ELOG</b> there are two commands for this. They are actually shortcuts for searches, to display the last day's (24 hrs) entries, or the last 10 entries (regardless of age). Note that the menus on the "<I>search result</I>" views of these commands are a bit special : they have the same command that created them, but with the search "<I>interval</I>" doubled. From the "<I>last day</I>" list you can get the "<I>last 2 days</I>" list, from that one the "<I>last 4 days</I>", etc., and similarly for "<I>last 10</I>", "<I>last 20</I>", etc., making it easy to quickly go back in time.
<p>
<li>another useful method, very specific to <b>ELOG</b>, is "<I>filtered browsing</I>" - again, shortcuts for specific searches. On the entry view, the "<I>VCR</I>" buttons normally let you see the previous, next, first or last entry in the logbook. However, if on the current entry you check one (or more) of the checkboxes in front of the attributes, only entries having the same value for the checked attribute(s) will be displayed by the browse buttons. Thus you can quickly flip through all the entries you submitted yourself, or of a certain type/category, depending on what attributes have been defined.

<p>
<li>for custom searches there is the query form given by the "<I>Find</I>" command. This lets you look for entries between two dates, with particular values for any attribute, or containing specific text. If you fill in several fields, only entries that meet <b>ALL</b> criteria will be selected. Possible options include sort order and summary view for results, printer-friendly formatting, displaying attachments or not, and searching through all logbooks on the <b>ELOG</b> server (if applicable).
