The examples below frequently use aliases for the sake of brevity. Short commands are emphasized here because the goal is to teach fast and easy manipulation of your journal. If you don't know what an alias is, just run
Get-Alias <name>in your terminal to get the definition. If you're not familiar with the definition either, then google is your friend. ;)
Paginate through a filtered list of entries
Run this command to retrieve all entries tagged work and iterate through the content of each one, displaying one page of data at a time. To omit the entry body, just remove the -IncludeBodies switch.
Get-JournalEntriesByTag -Tags work -IncludeBodies |
select -ExpandProperty entries |

Search for text within all entries
This will search all journal entries for the word vail and display the results one page at a time. You could omit select LineNumber,Line,Filename if you wanted, but the results will be a bit repetitive and verbose.
Get-JournalFiles |
sls -Pattern 'vail' |
select LineNumber,Line,Filename |
