It would be nice if we could use wildcards to preview results in Home Assistant’s built-in search combo box.
Ex: I would like to search for u_*_bedroom*
and get back all of my upstairs bedroom entities (i.e. u_east_bedroom, u_north_bedroom, u_master_bedroom).
Currently, if I use the search string above I get these results from Home Assistant version core-2021.7.3
:
I would like to see results closer to the following list (minus the first two entries that don’t fit my previously specified pattern):

You can still use the quick search avalaible with “e” keybord shorcut. The search is is fuzzy style search : you could use for example “ubed”

@SNoof85 for some reason I couldn’t get the “ubed” example to work in my instance, but I’m a total noob when it comes to fuzzy search logic…

Could you give a practical example? For example, I’m in settings->automations and I want to find all automation with “motion detected” and “off” in their name using the search bar.
