Use Wildcard / Regex in filter settings of SSMS object explorer to find an object


Is there a way to fine tune the SQL Server Management Studio Filter Settings results (in the Object Explorer) by using wildcards to find objects like XYZ_unknown_abc using a Contains operator?

I tried (XYZ*abc) or (XYZ abc) with no luck.


Solution

  • Coming a bit late, but %XYZ%abc% in the search box shows db object with names containing XYZ and abc, in that order.
