I implemented regular expression search method in EDA_ITEM but I never
finished hooking everything up at the UI level.  So unless someone
removed it, it should still be there.

I went with something similar to Seth’s proposal, only based on Eeschema’s find (so no regular expressions yet).

Most of the workings are down in EDA_ITEM, so if we add regex matching we’ll get it in both Eeschema and Pcbnew.

Cheers,
Jeff.

PCBNew’s current Find does a match against the whole string.  I think
it would be more intuitive with a ‘*’ in front and back of the search
string (so that it finds partial matches).
Any other opinions?

Hi Jeff-

Here's a mockup of something I was poking at a while ago.  Different processing for different purposes.  As long as we remember the checkboxes between uses, people's search preferences are allowed/respected.
