Description Adam Dingle 2013-05-02 12:35:52 UTC 
In the Select Items Matching dialog, I type "*.xml" to match all files ending in ".xml".  But when I use Find, "*.xml" will not match those files; I need to type ".xml" instead.  That's inconsistent.

I suggest that Find be enhanced to support filename globbing.  If someone types "*.xml" into Find, it's very unlikely that they want to find a file whose name is actually that.  :)

If by "Find" you mean "Search", I think bug 586125 is asking for the same thing.
Comment 2 Adam Dingle 2013-05-02 13:16:53 UTC 
Ah - yes, I think this is the same feature request.  I think that bug could be more clearly worded, so I'll add a comment there.
