Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The robot software I work with often has a lot of debug text and 3D objects. It would be easier to pinpoint certain things by being able to search for basic words in the text log, but this feature doesn't exist right now in Rerun.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to be able to do a simplistic search on TextLog archetypes in the viewer, specifically:

  • include: Keep any text logs that have the specified phrases
  • exclude: Ignore any text logs that have the specified phrases

I'm thinking along the lines of what vscode/zed/other code editors do when you bring up the ctrl+f menu.
