#703 use regexp to filter tables in javascript fast_filter

[Anonymous]

text typed in the fast_filter is used as a regexp to test tables name
old behavior is about the same since you don't often have regexp specials chars in a table name

Typing a regexp there is non-intuitive so I wonder how users would notice that this is a possibility.

well, I guess it could be noted on the tooltip, or maybe in the placeholder attribute (eg: placeholder=".*" or placeholder="type text or regexp to filter tables list"

I'm in favor of this. Currently the text says "Filter items by name" and it could be changed to "Filter by name or regex"

[Dieter Adriaenssens]

I agree with Isaac

Looks good.
