One of the superior features of iTerm2 (sadly only available on macOS) is it's content search. The search comes in two variants: search from active tab and search from all tabs. For those unfamiliar with iTerm2 and wondering, this feature would roughly equate to almost any editor like Visual Studio Code string search.

I haven't gone in-depth with the output buffering in Terminal yet to validate if this feature is realistically doable at the current state of the Terminal app, but this is a usability feature for multitasking terminal users that would be worth a LOT.
