[ooorayray]

Description

Updates the sidebar filter to allow filtering both databases and collections by dot notation: "."

Checklist

• New tests and/or benchmarks are included
• Documentation is changed or added
• If this change updates the UI, screenshots/videos are added and a design review is requested
• I have signed the MongoDB Contributor License Agreement (https://www.mongodb.com/legal/contributor-agreement)

Motivation and Context

When there are many databases with the same set of collections (think multi-tenancy), filtering by either databases or collections is insufficient. Filtering on both allows one to access a specific database and collection quickly.

This is amazing! Thanks @ooorayray !!!

While this works, the . has special meaning in the regular expression and I believe it should be escaped here to capture the intent of the change, to mean a literal "." (dot).

Suggested change

	regex: new RegExp('ready_1_1.coll_ready_shared_name', 'i'), // this matches only coll_ready_shared_name collection in ready_1_1 database
	regex: new RegExp('ready_1_1\.coll_ready_shared_name', 'i'), // this matches only coll_ready_shared_name collection in ready_1_1 database

Fixed!

Thanks for your contribution - it looks good to me 👍 I wonder if it would make sense (in this PR or a follow-up) to do the same for filterDatabases by passing in the connectionName too and have that propagate into filterDatabases as well.

Perhaps this would make more sense in the follow-up. I took a stab at this but it seems more involved: for example, would we allow . as a valid filter?

Hi @kraenhansen, please let me know if there are any other blockers for this PR that I can help resolve. Thanks!

Hey @ooorayray! Thanks for the contribution, sorry for the delay on getting back to you on this. Change looks good to me and I just kicked off our CI to make sure that all the existing tests are passing and don't need to be adjusted.

Seems like we're missing some permissions for smoketests to run for external contribs, but otherwise CI is green, so I'll merge. @ooorayray thanks again for the contribution, very nice change to the search logic! It should get into the next release
