Thread: UI Feature Request

From a usability standpoint, it would be beneficial to be able to filter Object Explorer tree child “leaf” elements by a pattern.  Currently, filtering can be used to search for object types or to limit the rows of results for an object type, but it doesn’t appear that you can limit the display of child leaf nodes for a specific object type.

For example, I have a database with hundreds of tables, and I do not wish to see the entire list of all tables when working with tables.  Similarly, I may have a very large number of procedures or functions and having all of them display makes finding and selecting an individual element more difficult.  Other DB management tools such as SSMS for SQL Server have that capability.

Support for simple patterns would be great, having regex support as an option too would be even more powerful.
