SUMMARY D18580 introduced the possibility to use a comma separated list for searching processes and pids. I think that this should be accompanied by a tooltip that appears when hoovering the search bar that tells the user of how the search works. Probably the documentation should also be updated to list this new feature. Tooltip example: "Type comma separated search terms or PIDs to filter the process list"
Turns out regex input is accepted too. Totally agree. Wanna give it a shot? :)
First, any idea on what should we write exactly? Is this ok? "Type comma separated searchs term or regular expressions to filter the process list." I removed the PIDs, because it searches in all these fields apparently: - Name - Command - Window Title of the process. - Username - PID
