This gives me some ideas about restricting search within logs, or the asset
pipeline detritus.

Sure, I can do that if you need me to.

MB text string to show in the search window, which I could probably limit
to +/- 500 bytes from where the match was found.

My search string was `title`, which occurs hundreds of times within the
file (although I wasn't actually looking for it within that file).
