My fault, I was looking for Unicode data. How do you intend on handling Unicode? I tested with
 
frame contains ff.ff.ff.a7.fd
And this works great.
 
I also tested with
frame contains test
This also works great as long as the data pattern is consistent (Non-Unicode) but of course fails with Unicode.
 
I was unable to filter with the frame contains on any Unicode patterns. I tried T.e.s.t, T e s t, etc... with no luck.
 
Suggestions? This really would make this feature more robust.,
 
Greg

frame contains "test"

should select any frame that has the string "test" in it.

"Should" :)
