For my part, I am using an extended "filter from active window/all chans/all windows" script (popups), with options to find matches for multiple expressions, regex etc... this is handy if you know what expression you're exactly looking for.

In the case of "all highlights", it is not - for the reasons given above. Highlights are (or can be) more than $+(*,$me,*) and: this current $me has not to be identical to $me 3hrs ago smile
