Re: PCBNew Find and "match words"

 

That looks quite like the "Edit Symbol Fields" dialog. I would suggest
to extend this one instead of creating your own one.

What I would like to see is an advanced search for components, having at
least the filter features of cvpcb. This would allow ditching the
redundant dialogs for symbol and footprint selection.

Regards, Thomas
