list examples --filter

The Problem To Be Solved

The new command csolution list examples is great, however it is not easy to find examples for a specific board or use case. With this command all information about examples are listed:

csolution list examples --verbose >x.txt      

However this could be overwhelming.

Suggest A Solution

Is it possible to extend '--filter' to include also the text from "description", "pack" and "boards"? Example, this would then list only examples from Alif.

csolution list examples --verbose --filter Alif  

NOTE: The same applies to list templates and to an extend to list layers. For list layers --filter seems not to work.

Consistently with other similar commands the results are already filtered for pack, board and device specified for the (optionally) selected solution/context-set/target-set.
As reported in its usage page list layers does not have a --filter option.

Since description is printed only in verbose mode, should also the filtering over description be applied only in verbose mode?

[ReinhardKeil]

yes, the description would be only included in --verbose mode.

The PR #2189 extends the filter handling: when listing examples and templates, search for the --filter string over name, pack and in verbose mode also over description and boards.
