Selecting by wildcard

One of the things that has always frustrated me with Explorer is it's (lack of) selection facilities. Mainly, you can't select files in the current folder using some sort of wildcard or regex filter. I can't tell you how many times I've wanted to do this simple thing and had to open up a stupid search window to do it. Is it just me or is this one of those ultra-obvious features that is glaringly missing from most file browsers?
BTW, any word on the request to (at least have an option to) open up a new tab for your search results?
P.S. I don't say it enough, but I really dig tracker. Just hoping my requests make better than the competition.

It's on the to-do list (

Thanks! But the next logical step forward is to add regular expressions capability to this option. This way we'd get the uniform interface for all file filnding, handling and mapping in TrackerV.

Ok, that was planned anyway. Comes with the next version.
It would be nice then if you could add some regular expressions capability to the forum (Tips and Tricks), some useful examples for selecting files using RegExp.

I'll try to find some Internet resource about regexp language, with maney examples of course, may be it would be usefull.
