How to split a table-formatted event into multiple events during search time?

Is it possible to have each piece of software as an event of its own so that I could search for a particular item?

Could some cool regex break this up into searchable data?

To split a table-formatted event into multipe events during search time, you can use the multikv command.

Try it like this:

your search | multikv

You should get an event for each line. Each event should have the fields NAME, VERSION, RELEASE etc.
