The text box accepts asterisks `*` as wildcards. So, `a*b*c` means match anything that contains `a`, then `b` and
then `c` with anything between them.
+Spaces are treated as OR expressions. So that `a*b c*d` means `a*b OR c*d`.
+
+Negative expressions are supported, by prefixing any string with `!`. Example: `!systemd *` means match anything that
+does not contain `systemd` on any of its fields.
