Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] 802.11 Frame Decryption and the Find Packet function

Hello,

I have a question about the Find Packet function in Wireshark. If I am looking at an 802.11 capture, and I have decrypted WPA TKIP data, will the find function also look in the Decrypted TKIP data for HEX Values or will it only look in the original Frame data? Trying to tie some data together across several captures at different points on a network and right now the WiFi is the missing link.
