ConEmu: Searching through entire buffer

Question

I've recently moved to the ConEmu console and I'm loving it. Its very configurable and it has a lot of the features that I was looking for (A Mac Terminal App replacement of sorts.)

I've not been able to figure out how to search through the entire history buffer though. Theres a key called App+F which seems to search the visible buffer for a string, but theres nothing that lets me search through the entire 9999 lines of buffer. Does anybody know the Keyboard shortcut for this?

Thanks.

For Windows set different hotkey since win+f is binded to Windows actions.
Here is how to set ctrl+f enter image description here

Apps+F may search entire buffer. But update to the latest build first and note that you need to "Freeze console" to enable buffer search.

BTW, Apps+F is default hotkey, you may choose any suitable.

What if you don't have an Apps key? Also how do you freeze the console? – CMCDragonkai Mar 23 '15 at 09:06
I tried the little search box on the top right, but it didn't do anything. – CMCDragonkai Mar 23 '15 at 09:08
Little search box do searching. Really. Nothing else. – Maximus Mar 23 '15 at 12:57
Sorry, but I meant when I tried searching for something, nothing happened. Does this have anything to do with the console program you're currently running? I was running cygwin with zsh and then ghci? – CMCDragonkai Mar 24 '15 at 01:07
@CMCDragonkai your question fits better to project issues but not SO question. At least screenshot is required. – Maximus Mar 24 '15 at 06:44
