Thanks for the feedback so far, but I guess I wasn't clear.  I don't 
want to rename the project or do anything like that.  It just seems to 
me that this should be a basic "Computer Science" concept that should 
have a name, but I don't know what it is.

For example, when you figure out how to store data in your program, you 
are using "data structures."  So a logcheck is a subset of "filtering" 
which is arguably a subset of "searching."

More clear?
