Search options are available by clicking on the magnifier icon:

Substring: If selected, the search is extended to substrings of module, field, or file names, effectively working as if adding wildcards, such as *image*.
Match Case: If selected, the search differentiates between lower- and uppercase letters.
Search In Internal Networks: If selected, the search is performed recursively within the internal networks of macro modules.

Clicking Show All opens the results in a new, persistent window. This way, you can have several search result lists open.
