Thus, Poettering and the systemd crowd have invented a new, ad-hoc
language for searching log files.
As opposed to ...

... the established and fairly self-consistent grep search argument languages.
The rpoblem he was trying to solve, I suppose, is that the grep
approach allowed some flexibility in log generation. With systemd,
logs will be required to conform, or be unsearchable. Or you could
also use grep anyway, as long as the logs remain text based. If you
happen to know what the new logs look like in the part you need to
look up.
