I've been on the Pipe Command for too long!

So im trying to figure out why this is:

I'm trying to shorten the length of the output from a page full of extras to just what im looking for. I can reference the bandwidth, that I just set. However, i'm unable to referece the word "bw" or "mtu" for the pipe?

[B][COLOR=#b22222]R2#show int s1/0 | s bw[/COLOR]
R2#show int s1/0 | s 64[/B]
  MTU 1500 bytes, BW 64 Kbit/sec, DLY 20000 usec,
     reliability 255/255, txload 1/255, rxload 1/255
  Output queue: 0/1000/64/0 (size/max total/threshold/drops)
     Conversations  0/1/256 (active/max active/max total)
     Reserved Conversations 0/0 (allocated/max allocated)
     Available Bandwidth 48 kilobits/sec
[B][COLOR=#b22222]R2#show int s1/0 | s bw
R2#show int s1/0 | b bw
R2#show int s1/0 | b mtu[/COLOR]
R2#show int s1/0[/B]
Serial1/0 is up, line protocol is up
  Hardware is M4T
  Internet address is 10.1.200.2/24
  MTU 1500 bytes, BW 64 Kbit/sec, DLY 20000 usec,
     reliability 255/255, txload 1/255, rxload 1/255
  Encapsulation HDLC, crc 16, loopback not set
  Keepalive set (10 sec)
  Restart-Delay is 0 secs
  Last input 00:00:01, output 00:00:01, output hang never
  Last clearing of "show interface" counters never
  Input queue: 0/75/0/0 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops: 0
  Queueing strategy: weighted fair
 ...

Is there a set of defining rules or regulations as to make the pipe command show what I need, instead of what I already know?

Believe it or not, you just need to capitalize BW or MTU

I just tried it:
sho int gig0/1 | b mtu
doesn't work on my router

sho int gig0/1 | b MTU
does work

You need to type the "search" word EXACTLY as it will appear in the output, and MTU and BW are in caps.

It's case-sensitive.

I didn't think of that. Thank you

Not a problem, Sir.
It's what we're all here for.
