is there any function or existing plugin to view/extract only those line which match the tezt search?

Yes a built-in function called “Mark”. Combined with the “bookmark” option it will “tag” any line that has the search string. Then you can cut or copy the bookmarked lines to another tab/file. You can also remove non-bookmarked lines, if seeking a different way of getting a result.
Either search this forum for “mark” for examples or read the online manual to get more information.

If you like to experiment, I am working on a plugin for search which includes a Show command that hides all lines and then shows just the ones with matches.
It’s still a work in progress, but everyone is welcome to try it and offer bug reports, suggestions and complaints. See this thread for ongoing discussion; go here to find the latest version.
