If  you highlight a word (say, "WARNING") that will automatically be
highlighted everywhere in the file and you can just scroll down and it
will "Just show them!"  Granted, I've never done this on a file that's
constantly updating, so I guess I don't know what it will do in your
use case.

^^^^^  As it says, email [email protected].  I've found them crazy
responsive about adding features and fixing bugs if you help them help
you.

IMHO, live viewing of a file that's constantly being appended to is a
pretty specialized use-case. With BBEdit having to constantly reload
and reparse the file, I'm not shocked it doesn't handle your very
specific case perfectly how you want it. It's like you're asking the
Ponies to jump through hoops.  There's also applications out there
that are specifically designed to work with log files, like the OSX
included Console.app.
