Log Searching Functionality

It would be nice if there was a search function on the logs to display results for sender, recipient or IP address. Currently one has to display the log for everyone and then search through the results.

The ability to limit search results to a specific timeframe would also be nice (to limit the amount of information that the search is running through.)

Seems like it might be easier on the Roller Network servers, too, as bringing up lots of log data is time consuming.

We just upgraded the account manager server to something much, much faster, so we'll work on cleaning up the log interface and adding some search capabilities.

I've added some simple search functions.

* Restrict by date range; start and end dates are inclusive.
* Filter by connection, from, to, and the response message.

"Connection" allows search on the DNS name or IP address of the source or destination. "From" and "To" allow a search on those respective fields. "Message" allows you to search the response message field. All searches are case insensitive and are limited by the date range.

I'll work on making up some documentation and examples of how searches can be used. Otherwise, these additions are available now.
