Results Panel


The Results panel displays the results of the queries entered in the query field, or results generated after processing batch files, or results loaded from CountryWhois archives. The results list contains the following columns:

No
The line number. This column is useful for navigating large lists. This column is hidden by default. Please use the Columns submenu of the list header context menu for displaying this and other columns.
Query
This column contains either text entered in the query address field, or IP address or hostname found when processing a batch file. Multiple queries (the ones entered in the address field and separated by semicolons) will be displayed as several results with the same date (the Date column).

See also: Query Types
Date
The query date. Please note that when the Allow duplicate queries in results option is enabled, all query results that have the same query string (the Query column) will be added to the list, but will have a different date. Otherwise, new results will not be added to the list, only the date of the existing results will be updated (equivalent to using the Refresh command). Results of multiple and batch queries have the same date. This column is hidden by default.

Status
The query status. During the processing of a query, the status of its result may change. IP address query results have only one status – Completed, as these queries are processed offline and require no further action. Hostname query results could additionally have the following statuses: Waiting in queue – waiting in queue to resolve the IP address (when processing multiple and batch hostname queries); Resolving – IP address resolution is in process; Waiting – status of all results for which resolution has not been completed (e.g. a query was terminated because the user clicked Stop and closed the program). When the user enters the wrong query string (incorrect IP address or hostname) and when IP resolution errors occur, an error message is displayed. Depending on the result status, the icon in the Query column is also changed.
IP Address
If the query contained an IP address, the column contains the same data as the Query column. If the query contained a hostname, the column contains the result of resolving the hostname to an IP address. This column is hidden by default.
Country
The country name for completed query results. You can optionally enable/disable the display of flags next to the country name in the Options dialog. See also: Settings
Country Code
The ISO 3166-1 country code for completed query results. See also: Country Codes
Continent
The continent name of the respective country.


Dragging a column header to the desired position can change the column order. To sort the list, click on the column header. Sorting direction is changed if you repeatedly click on a column header. If the Disable results auto sorting option is enabled, sort settings may be reset when the result list is being changed during querying, batch processing, or archive loading.

The context menu of the results list contains the following commands:

Selection
This menu contains commands to manage selections and allows you to select all results, invert or deselect them.
Copy
This menu contains commands used to copy text of the results list. It's possible to copy all or selected results and individual cells and columns as well.
Find in Statistics
Selects the corresponding country on the Statistics panel. Double-clicking on the results list performs the same action.
Refresh
Re-queries the selected results.
Delete
Deletes the selected results.
SmartWhois Query
Opens the SmartWhois Query dialog that allows you to perform SmartWhois queries. See also: SmartWhois Queries
Search for
Allows you to search for information on the selected country in various search engines specified in the Search Engines dialog. You can hide this command by disabling the Search for Country from the context menu option (located in the Results section of the Options dialog). See also: Settings, Search Engines


The context menu of the list header also contains the following commands:

Columns
Use this menu to hide or show columns.
Sort By
This menu contains commands to manage list sorting. To sort the list by a specific column, click on the item with the column name. To change the sorting direction, click this item again. The None item disables list sorting and all new and changed results will be moved to the end of the list regardless of their data. This behavior corresponds to the enabled Disable results auto sorting option. See also: Settings


By default, closing the program doesn't clear the results, e.g. they will still be there when you restart the program. To clear the list on exit, enable the Clear results on exit option.
