I don’t know if BBEdit has such a mode, but there’s always `grep`
which will just show matching lines.
fgrep -i error input.log
You could used that on the command line or as a text filter in BBEdit,
I suppose.

Well, at the risk of getting banned from the list ;-)
I’m going to offer another non-BBEdit solution.
I don't have a UTF-16 file handy to test, but it should work something
like this:
iconv --from-code=UTF-16 --to-code=UTF-16LE input.log > input-16LE.log
That will save the log to a new file which can be opened in BBEdit or elsewhere.
(There’s also the `-c` option, which means “When this option is given,
characters that cannot be converted are silently discarded, instead of
leading to a conversion error.”)
If you want to combine those two commands, you could try this:
iconv --from-code=UTF-16 --to-code=UTF-16LE input.log | fgrep -i error
That convert the file and pipe the resulting text to `fgrep` which
will then filter out everything except the lines which contain the
word 'error'
