Re: [RFC] Zenmap search interface overhaul

[eldraco <eldraco () gmail com>]

Hi all, nice features, congrats Vladimir.

I usually need to search which target hosts share a router in their traceroute 
output. Something radialnet shows you quite well, but I need some fast 
search. 
Something like "inroute:1.2.3.4" sounds great to me.
Helps me perform some fast topology analysis from time to time.

cheers
