Filtering posts by username, or just a simple filter to show all posts in chat by your character

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I made a post about the actual problem encountered already, but the short version is that trying to search the chat history for anything containing even a part of my character's name didn't yield any results. (Toon's name is Joruuscbaoth and when searching "Jor" I got 1 result of another user named "Jorvid".) This stems from an out of nowhere warning from Blizzard that something I said was reported but I had said maybe a dozen things over the span of 9 or so hours... so trying to find my posts via scrolling wouldn't be a worthwhile endeavor. Wanting to know what I could have possibly said to get reported would aid in avoiding such things in the future as Blizz is really reluctant to ever inform you of what you said that resulted in any actions taken against you based on things you;ve said . You normally never get anything outside the form letter response of "violated CoC or ToC".
Describe the solution you'd like
I'd love for the search function to operate as I thought it would, anything with the letters "Jor" appear in results so obviously all my own posts should be in the results from the chat history.
*Describe alternatives you've considered
A really easy to use alternative I'd suggest is the option to display all posts made by the user's current character from the chat history. Just a simple one button option to bring up a chat history that only shows the posts (regardless of channel or whisper) by the character currently logged in as. I wouldnt expect this to be able to show anything said by the blizzard account/real id such as to friends on the blizzard friends lists, I think that'd be safe to exclude.
Additional context
Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.
A neat option might be to have a custom chat tab/channel that if it's module were toggled on, would be its own tab and shows everything the current logged in character has posted across all chat channels from /say to /yell to /emote to /g and /i and /p and /1 /2 /3 /4 /5 etc. I think this might be possible already if a player made it themselves but it wouldnt be able to populate anything prior to its creation using the chat history from previous sessions. That would be a key feature of what I'm suggesting/requesting, that the chat history txt file is referenced to this function and populates it for you.
