I noticed that the Plug-in Selection dialog in the product configuration file for setting the start-levels does not support wildcard search. 

Why not use the same dialog as for the Manifest.MF Add Dependency. This one support also wildcards.

Might be nice to get ride of one additional dialog.

The issue here is that we aren't adding from a list of IPluginModelBase objects.  Instead we have a list of IProductPlugins or IFeaturePlugin objects.  To fix this we could enhance the plug-in selection dialog to support other objects that have a plug-in id.  Or we could take the minimal performance hit of looking up the plug-in model for the other objects before opening the dialog.

Note that if this change is made, it should also be applied to PluginSection, SplashLocationSection as well as PluginConfigurationSection in the product editor.

If someone is feeling really ambitious, it could also be replaced in ImplicitDependenciesSection and TargetDefinitionContentPage (BundleInfo objects).

I think current functionality is fine, marking as WONTFIX.
