Could be useful and should not be intrusive. I see nothing bad in that.

IIRC someone already asked for it. You could extend the 'search' dialog
for that (something like a button 'Highlight All'). But I don't know if
pcbnew handles multiple component highlighting at the moment (I fear for
a g_currentComponent variable or such...)

Wildcarding is easy to do, since wx has all the needed functions. Look
in the eeschema search routines.

PS: resistor *bag*? I hope you're talking about THT resistors, a bag of
EIA chips would be awful to handle:D
