What!  No regular expression search!  Just kidding but you know someone
will ask for it.  I'm fine with merging this as long as the grey text
issue that Chris pointed out is resolved.  It seems odd that the text is
greyed out.  It looks like a focus issue.

Also, is there any reason why the FOOTPRINT_FILTER object was not used?
FOOTPRINT_FILTER already has built in pattern matching of footprints.
