I love BBEdit because I can watch large log files and it handles them
effortlessly, even with files that are updated every few seconds.
But I avoid using it because live search is broken:
1) Not persistent
Log files, by their nature get updated, often a lot. When I search
on a word using LiveSearch, I see the result for a moment and then is
dissappears when the file updates.
Why can't Live Search persist? Live search should keep showing
results even when a file is updating regularly.
2) Live Search only shows one item.
When I search for a term (say, "WARNING") in a large log production
file, I often have to scan through hundreds of hits. But live search only
shows one.
Why can't I see all of them? If I'm scrolling through thousands of
lines, its not reasonable to have to click the arrow button to see all the
hits. Just show them!
The end result is that I use IntelliJ to view log files. Its not as good
with large files, but will show thousands of search its and doesn't break
when the file updates.
I would use BBEdit more often if it worked better with large log files.
Thanks.
