Re: [RFC] Wildcard and/or regex support in the component chooser

 

Hi Chris, thanks for the feedback.  I certainly don't expect you to waste
your time implementing something that you don't want/need!  I think if you
end up implementing wildcard match it will be a good starting point for
adding fuzzy matching later if someone wants to take that on (maybe even I
would!), at which point we can try it out and see if anyone else besides me
thinks it's a better way to search.

BR,
Jon
