Please take another look. I came back to his and did some more testing and noticed that content wasn't properly HTML encoded. Required a change in order of operations when parsing logs and content. |

Please hold off on merging this for a day as I'm looking at #6230 today for 9.0 and will want to backport it. There's overlap here which would make that backport difficult/risky. |

Looks like we don't use captured groups here, so we could add RegexOptions.ExplicitCapture to allocate less when matching, now that we've added a group.

I looked at this regex more and I removed the group. I added flags to ignore case and culture.
Description
Automatically convert URLs in values and properties into links:
GridValue is used in many places:
There is a limitation: it doesn't work together with highlighting. Highlighting is only supported over plain text, not HTML. That means links are disabled when you begin searching with a filter and you go back to the current experience.
Getting these two features to work together properly is quite tricky. Will require building up a model of the text and transforming it when applying different operations (adding in links, adding in highlights)
