Enhancement Request: grep feature

[hrulik]

Will be great if you add grep in your app. I see it like an input box at bottom where i can type a serch string. Thank you for you app.

It would be great to have this feature, but with a mark by regex then filter by markers.

@snakefoot I am curious, what do you think it would take to implement this? Are there any particular pitfalls or challenges to doing this in C#? Has it been tried or planned?

[snakefoot]

I have started on a SnakeTail ver. 2 that includes the Grep-feature. But it has been put a little on hold as my energy has been diverted to the NLog-project.

I think the hardest challenge is making a clean interface, that doesn't feel clunky. But my current solution is working, but just needs a lot of polish and testing.

While waiting for my slow adventures, then you might want to checkout https://github.com/RolandPheasant/TailBlazer

But I would love to see other suggestions for how to make a good grep-user-interface. Right now I'm heavily inspired by BareTail.

Thanks! Will check it out.
