[Oliver Walters <oliver.henry.walters@xxxxxxxxx>]

Currently there is no way to filter by footprint in the component selector
window.

This simple patch adds the footprint text to the search string for each
item in the component selector window.

This means that the user can enter text such as "SOT-23-5" and all matching
footprints will appear.

Regards,
Oliver
