in the past there was a feature request to support regex based search.
Even it is not regex is it possible to implement any sort of wildcard based
search with "?" or "*" ?.
This way one could search between defined start and stop patterns, which would
amongst others solve the following issue:
Sometimes I'd like to match the numbers of incomming phone calls with existing
phone numbers that I had already recorded in KN.
The problem: the recorded numbers have differing formats (groups divided by
spaces or dashes or no grouping at all, depending on the source of origin).
When I want to search for a specific part of a number I fail to do so at the
moment as I can't be certain about the format.
The search type "all the words" works a little bit in that way if you enter all
digits of the phone number and divide them with a space.
After parsing through hundreds of other results you will find also the desired
phone number, so it works but not really useful.
A search that supports wild cards would address this problem in an ideal way.
If not possible I will not switch away from KN, it would just make it even more
adictive ;-)
