Major Description
Egrep and RegExfilter use java Matcher.match() which only returns true if the expression matches the entire string. Matcher.find() can detect when an expression matches a subsequence of the string. Need an option to use find in egrep and RegexFilter.
This issue was created based on discussion in the following two mailing list threads.

Based on this discussion, -g and --global seem like good candidates for the options to add to egrep.
