Detailed Description

A helper class to implement a multi-part, case-insensitive search pattern filter with support for exclusions.

The search text is split into multiple parts by spaces. A text passes the filter if it contains all parts. The check is always case insensitive and the order of the parts does not matter. It is also possible to exclude parts by prefixing them with a minus. E.g. "com mesh" would pass all texts that contain "com" and "mesh" like ezMeshComponent. "com -mesh" would pass ezLightComponent but would fail ezMeshComponent.
