Git search history and show diff

git log -G searches history for diffs containing an expression, but it only outputs the commit message for each diff found.

Is there a way to do this but also output the actual content of the diffs?

Well, there's git diff. Try reading the instructions for that (man git-diff).

You could use the commit ids and filenames to compare particular things, a la:

git diff <commit_id> <filename> <other_commit_id> <filename>

That'll show you the diffs of the files given at the time of the commits specified.
