Console output filtering in xcode or appcode

Question

Is it possible in XCode or AppCode to filter the output of the console like its implemented in IntelliJ? Or at least in some way?

As for AppCode, I haven't found any such plugin and if you find one, please let me know. — Alexander Semenov, Feb 26 '16 at 15:55

You can use GrepConsole plugin in AppCode which enables coloring and filtering out messages based on regexps

As for XCode, there is a plugin, called MCLog. Basically, it just adds regex-based filter to your console, no history or filter configurations, but it's still much better, than nothing. You can install it using Alcatraz or directly from GitHub repo.

See, how it looks on original screenshots:

This may theoretically answer the question, but it would be best to include the essential parts of the answer here for future users, and provide the link for reference.

MCLog doesn't work in XCode 8.0+ "Works in Xcode 5.0 through 7.3. Unfortunately, Apple no longer supports Xcode plug-ins as of Xcode 8.0." – SimpleJ Mar 13 '18 at 23:02

This feature is now available in Xcode itself for those still looking! It's in the bottom right corner of the console (separate from ⌘F in the console). (Credit to Derek Yang for pointing this out to me!)
