Description Jaromir Uhrik 2008-12-12 15:46:26 UTC

Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200812111726)
Java: 1.5.0_16; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.5.0_16-133
System: Mac OS X version 10.5.5 running on i386; MacRoman; en_US (nb)

When the user searches with Quick Search tool in explorer it is only possible to search by prefix. But it is very often
required to find something by infix (or maybe suffix substring). In general the Quick Search might support regular
expressions. It seems to be fine if the user can search just 2 ways:
1/search by start substring (the current status) - type SEARCH_STRING
2/search text included - type *SEARCH_STRING
