Area:
Something not on this list

Summary:
Using the Console.app's "search" functionality is a constant pain for me, as I'm often trying to fin the origin and context of a report that was forwarded to me by a  user or colleague.

Instead of searching and highlighting occurrences for a given term, the app filters the content of the logs and ONLY shows the lines corresponding to that error. This makes it actually harder to find context of certain logs, which basically makes TextEdit more apt for searching through logs to me than Console.app.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a .log file on Console.app
2. Search for a term

Expected Results:
The search term is searched for and the occurrences are highlighted within the log area.

Observed Results:
The logs are filtered by the given search term.

Version:
macOS 10.12.5
