This plugin lets you search for some text using regular expressions in a set of files or the console log. Once a match is found, you can downgrade a successful build to a status of unstable, failure, or not built.

For example, you can search for the string failure in a set of log files. If a match is found, you can downgrade the build from success to failure. This is handy when you have some tools in your build chain that don't properly set the exit code.

Note that the search is always performed, even on builds which returned a non-zero exit status, but the reclassification only applies to builds which returned an overall exit status of zero.
