Hi.

Often, when I have a packet with alot of elements, it's a bit hard to  
find the element matching the display filter.  And when using a  
complex filter it would be nice to know why each packet matches.

Does wireshark have any functionality like this?  I know we have "Find  
Packet", but this does not display the matching element in the packet.

I see two possible enhancements here:
1. Colorize the element matching the filter, like the expert info.
2. Implement a function to expand the tree to the element matching the  
display filter in this packet, and highlight this.

Anyone with a deeper knowledge about the display filter engine who can  
point in a direction how to implement such a feature?
