I concur with everyone suggesting "less." It works by buffering segments of the file and does not edit it. I use it to view multi-gb files all the time.

Although split does seem like a nice command.

In less you can search through the file with "/" and a regex. Although on a 4GB file that might not be most idea lol. Just use grep for that.
