Max Rydahl Andersen updated JBIDE-4576:
---------------------------------------

        Summary: Search in property file using  regular expressions  (was: Search in property file using special characters )
    Description: 
What you think about possibility to search using regular expression (*,?)
When we have strings like   "Start date" , "Begin date", ..."Blabla date" if type *date to see all this strings.
* - any characters
? - only one character

I guess you mean regular expressions.

1) our filter could just solve this by searching all of the value (i.e. "date" will match both "dateline" and "Begin date"

2) we could add an option for regular expression, but I think that should be an explicit option, not enabled by default.

I would start with 1 and just have 2 as something to add later on - don't think it is of that great value honestly when you have 1.
