    Drill-down search (Pro): New York (100,492) ? Central Park (226) ? coffee_shop (3). Two refinements narrow 100k hits down to a single node — a Starbucks at Central Park South, with opening hours and coordinates in the raw tags. The right-click History menu shows the exact path, line numbers included.
    Sequence search (Pro): the same three terms searched in order of appearance instead — 1,246 chains, each linking hits thousands of lines apart (see the History menu: line 151,568,463 ? 151,599,349 ? 151,616,193). On a log file, this is how you trace "deploy ? timeout ? ERROR" however far apart they are.
    The same 3.16 GB / 100M-line OpenStreetMap file, opened twice: native desktop (left) and the browser WebAssembly build (right, on localhost). Searching ?? returns an identical 6,204 matches in both, with ±1 line of context. The browser build is functionally the same; only indexing and search are slower, being CPU-bound. Free edition.

    The colour highlighter, with the bundled Web access (HTTP) preset loaded: regex rules colour status codes, IP addresses and syslog severities. Per rule you set regex, case, whole-line and text/background colours; order decides priority. Rule sets export and import as files, so a team can share one. 100M-line file, Japanese UI. Free edition.
