It seems reasonable to ask for a view filter to be added to Konversation's interface. Unlike URL Catcher though, the filter gets applied to the active tab view. It would be a universal feature (that is, it would be possible to filter the URL Catcher tab as well as chat windows).

Unless lines starting e.g. @ or #, are treated differently than other chat commands in some way I don't know about, ! or ~ or # or @ could be used at the beginning of a line to signal the beginning of a filter string. The filter would remove every line in the chat history view, except for those lines containing the filter string.

Subsequent filter commands in a given view would be imposed on the previous filters' results. The filter command on its own would reset the view to no filter.
