I can't seem to find a way to increase the width. However, I instead used Filters to setup my frequently used search queries. – Fiddlehead

Answer 1

Actually the problem is with the device name, which is too long and due to this it squeezes the Logcat search. So to the solution I got for this name issue is to change the device name (whether its Genymotion or AVD). So to change your device name follow below steps :

For AVD : Go to Tools --> Android --> AVD Manager --> Select your device and then change the device name to shorter one.

For Genymotion : Open you VirtualBox --> Select your device and then Click on Settings --> Change the name to shorter one.

And other option is Right click on Logcat tab and then enable Floating mode. Then just resize the floating window so that the Logcat search can expand.

Edit: You can also use CTRL+F to filter logcat. It will open new search bar and then you can try on that.

have try with right mouse click on logcat and choose to show window in floating mode. Your problem is low screen resolution at your display – Environs

Yes, the resolution is the problem, but there must be a way to solve this. I have tried floating mode with every other option available in logcat window but nothing worked. – Materiel
