Yes, please! *R* -> R somewhere in the name. R* -> R in the beginning of the name. *R -> R at the end of the name.
R*1005M*1* are 1005M (0402) sized resistors with different values starting with 1 1, 10, 100, 1.2, 12, 120, 15. ... [k|M]Ohms as i.e.: R-1005M-1R0 (1Ohm) R-1005M-103 (10kOhm) R-1005M-184 (180kOhm) Optionally an SQL LIKE "%" Symbol could be nice to be used optionally as a wildcard. See: https://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_wildcards.asp Because... in the long term, we propably want to put everything into a database anyway. ;-) Regards, Clemens On 2017-03-14 16:57, Chris Pavlina wrote: > Hi, > > Currently, the footprint filter strings in a component match a footprint > if they occur *anywhere* in the footprint's name.
