In project editor, would a wildcard search be helpful and easy for many.
So if a cable comp ID is WIR-CAT-010, I can search in search box for "CAT-010" to get it in result.
in case of wildcard, we might be able to put in "CAT\*10" or just "CAT*10" to lookup.

simple * based wildcard can also help alot in many cases where after some time the user does not remember the exact package or product name they used.
