Desperately Seeking Search - not filter - Capability in Firebug Console

I badly need a Search feature in the Firebug Console.

There is a supposed "search" input field in the upper-right corner of the console, but it's not a search at all - it's a filter. It omits all lines that don't match the search term. This removes all the context log lines around the lines with the search term in it.

Does anyone know of a way to make Firebug's Console perform a real Search, just like the ordinary Search feature on Web Pages in Firefox?

Is there an add-in that I'm not finding that can deliver this capability?

In 2024 in the Firefox developer console you can do a "NOT" filter by prepending a -. For example -[Timer will hide all console messages that start with [Timer.

Firebug does not have a feature like that and, as far as I know, there isn't any extension doing that.

Note that I've requested this feature years ago.
