Searching in a log group no longer shows hyperlink to go to log stream
I have a lambda function that logs to a log group. On AWS console when I wanted to search for a string in my log group I would go to "Search all log streams" and then enter my string (usually restricting the date to within a couple hours.) When it returned a match it would have a blue hyperlink on the right side that would take me to the exact occurrence and log stream where this string was. This was very useful because there was surrounding information I print before and after the string to help debug problems.
But now this link is not longer showing. It just shows me a list of all matches without the option to see which log streams these matches occurred in. Anyone know how I can get that link back? Is there a limit to the number of log streams I can have before it goes away? I must have thousands of log streams... not sure if pruning down is best practice...

Hello.
The screen you are viewing is a screen within the log stream.
In other words, I don't think a link is necessary because the search is performed within the target log stream.
I believe what you have seen in the past are logs queried with CloudWatch Logs Insights.
For logs queried using this feature, there is a link to the target stream.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/logs/AnalyzingLogData.html
You can check the link to the target log stream by querying as below.

OP is correct: the "Search All Log Streams" button used to lead to a view that looks just like the attached screenshot, but with links to the relevant log stream next to each result.
On the main page for any given log stream, there is a "Search Log Group" button near the top right, and a "Search All Log Streams" button at the top right of the "Log Streams" tab. This second button used to lead to a screen that behaved the way we're describing, with links to each log stream in the results.
These two buttons now lead to the exact same page (literally the same URL), with an interface that allows searching across all log streams, but does not provide links to individual log streams in the search results.
