 The current implementation of the log viewer makes it really difficult to
 browse all the matches. Especially when there are multiple matches in the
 same log file, one has to use the scroll bar to find each of them; even
 though they are color coded, it is very easy to miss them in long logs (of
 which I have plenty).

 One suggestion I can think of is grep-like output, where all matches are
 shown and only matches; sort of like the left column works, in that it
 only shows log files with matches.

 Optionally a "show context" checkbox could be added on top of the above,
 in case the user is searching for the conversation around the match and
 not only the line that matched itself. In this case it would be nice if
 the context were small, so that other matches are still available at a
 glance, or if previous/next buttons can be provided to browse all results.
