Description Jacek Pospychala CLA 2008-03-25 06:37:11 EDT 
Right now registry view supports only words, e.g "cow", "duck", "eclipse".
It does not support anything with dot, like "eclipse.ui", "ui.ide", etc.

It's pretty annoying as 90% of registry view contants is id's...

I hope to get it to M7 too. it's easy one

ok turns out this bug is INVALID. All strings like "eclipse.ui" or "ui.ide" are correctly matched against registry view contents.
My confusion was caused by leaves like "id = org.eclipse.ui.ide.something" where simple search string "eclipse.ui" failed.
Trick is to use asterisk at the begining of search string - "*eclipse.ui", because PatternFilter compares whole node label.
