Hello Claira,

By design I believe.

Use an AppleScript or a Text-Filter.

AppleScript:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
tell application "BBEdit"
  tell text of front text window
    set foundLines to copied lines of (process lines containing matching string 
"Shane +S.+" with matching with grep)
    set its contents to foundLines
  end tell
end tell
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Text Filter:

#! /usr/bin/env perl 
        use strict; use warnings;
#----------------------------------------

while (<>) {
        if ( m!Shane +S.+!i ) { print; };
}
