I am having problem inspecting specific things in my Debug.WriteLn output in Visual Studio 2015. (Same thing in 2012 and 2013 version too.)

XCode and Eclipse both include a filter-box on top of the Output window. I tried to find a similar extension for Visual Studio but I had no luck. Is there any way to have a similar feature and filter the output window?
