 Hi all,
     I dunno if this is feasible or not but still. The current way right
 now to see what rooms/channels are there is to go through Tools > Room
 List  use one of the accounts say xyz at irc.freenode.net & then click on get
 Room list. Now freenode takes a while & there might be bigger IRC networks
 than freenode which would take more time. Then basically one uses mostly
 uses name or Topic or then if there are no. of channels with either
 same/similar name or topic then fine-tune it and add/or join that chat.
          Now it would be nice if we could have some kind of search/grep
 feature before we ask for Room List. Say for e.g. search for 'pidgin'
 without the quotes obviously  so network search is more focussed & network
 is that less stressed/used. The Room List GUI is already good, it would be
 just matter of adding the GUI stuff & the internal logic for grepping,
 what do people think about it? If people think it would be better off as a
 plugin to be enabled even that is cool.
