Yes and no. In Summary 2.3, you can only search on one column at a time 
using arguments in the URL. So you can search on the destination, but not 
at the same time that you are searching on the source. In Summary 2.5 
(currently in beta) you can search for an exact match on one column, 
while at the same time searching for a pattern match on the other column 
using drill downs.

You search on the destination by searching in the Paths by Destination 
report, or by switching the column order so that the Destination is the 
left most column (click on the column heading to swap the columns).

You can search on both columns at once, but not in the URL, by 
reconfiguring the report to use user filters, and setting up a user 
filter on the column you are not search on in the URL. This will change 
how the report appears to everyone however.

as a searing indictment of the narrow-minded binary counting system.
