Your best shot is probably logstash as it has an IRC-bridge and is
powered by elasticsearch.
I haven't used it for IRC-logs though.

If that solution doesn't cut it then you can always roll your own with
elasticsearch.
The elasticsearch-head plugin provides a basic (and ugly) way of
searching it and since it's REST-based you can modify their javascript
example according to your needs:
