Make filtering of search matches in console panel optional

[fbugissues]

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 2972

I think it would be good to make the filtering of search matches inside the
console panel optional, because in some cases it is useful to see the
entries before or after a message. Besides that this would make the
"Previous" and "Next" button useful inside the console panel (because they
are not doing anything at the moment searching inside the console).
I attached two screenshots how this could look like.
For a test case do the following:
1. Open the console panel
2. Enable all options of the console's menu
3. Go to google.com (several messages should appear inside the console)
4. Type something into the search field

=> Console entries get filtered by the search string, but there's no option
to just mark the entries like it's done in the other panels

Notice, when processing this issue search match highlighting as described in issue 3113
should be considered (also see mockup search_result_highlighting_console_panel.png).
This means, that the background of the message including the match should be highlighted
temporarily.

Sebastian, I encountered the problem you outline. I think the search should scroll to
the hit like the other panels.  The main difficulty is implementing the search-next.

Issue 5113 has a description how this could work.
To let others find this enhancement request I need to add, that this is about making
the console messages filter optional.
