To my knowledge there is no such device.

But you can accumulate the content of the buckets in $f->ctx until there is 
enough of it. If the current brigade does not have enough data simply do not 
pass it on to the next filter.

You have to watch out for flush end eos buckets, though.

If the string you are looking for is always within the first 5000 bytes that 
should not cause problems. Avoid, however, to accumulate the whole response.

Something like:

sub filter {
  my ($f, $bb)=@_;
  my $mybb=$f->ctx;
  $f->ctx($mybb=APR::Brigade->new($f->r->pool, $f->c->bucket_alloc))
    unless $mybb;
  $mybb->concat($bb);
  if( $mybb->lengh>=5000 ) {
    $mybb->flatten(my $buf);
    $buf=~s/.../.../;
    $mybb->cleanup;
    $mybb->insert_tail(APR::Bucket->new($mybb->bucket_alloc, $buf));
    my $rc=$f->next->pass_brigade($mybb);
    $mybb->destroy;
    $f->remove;
    $rc==APR::Const::SUCCESS or return $rc;
  }
  return Apache2::Const::OK;
}

You still have to add code to check for flush and eos buckets.
