FEATURE REQUEST: Keyword (wildcard) Filter for Hardware Machining

Hardware (& other) machining allows you to filter by partname, currently, but the name has to be EXACT.  We could GREATLY benefit from the added ability to filter by keyword ("door", "stud", "rail", etc.).

For our product(s), having to match the exact name means we often need to include a list of hundreds of parts in order to filter correctly (which is not practical).   For example, our studs are named like this:

Stud_Leg_1_#1_OL
Stud_Leg_1_#2
Stud_Leg_1_#3
Stud_Leg_1_#4_Brkt
Stud_Leg_1_#5
Stud_Leg_2_#1_OL
Stud_Leg_2_#2
etc. (with up to 30+ studs per 5 legs available in the product)

Listing each individually is clearly not a great option for us, even if the list is generated as a global or prompt of some sort.  If we could instead filter by keyword, we could just use "*-Stud" and it would filter out all 150+ studs from receiving the machining. 

FLATSHOTs already have this ability, I assume because it would have been impractical to have to list every part included or excluded.  We need the same concept applied to hardware and machining, as it causes us the exact same grief!
