Summary: "Search Files in Project" - able to search by regular expressions

Description lpintilie 2005-11-08 09:53:32 UTC 
At the moment the feature works only if the user starts typing the exact name of
the file, narrowing down the list of possible choices. However, it would be nice
to be able to use regular expressions, or at least "well known" wildcards (* and
?). 

One possible scenario: project with several *.properties files, or *.xml files.
I am aware that Ctrl-Shift-P provides the ability to do that, however I believe
it takes too many key presses for a functionality used quite often.

Current configuration:
OS: Fedora Core 3 (on i386)
NetBeans: 5.0dev, build200510131600 with accelerators module installed from
manually downloaded NBM, from
