[Improvement] UI should show matches when filtering requests by folder, URI, method, query string

• Operating System: Version 10.13.3 (17D47) - macOS High Sierra

Details

I previously implemented the business logic for searching by folder, URI, method, and query string in #797 as a fix for #739. This has been merged.

This is a follow up to that, to show in the UI what field and value has been matched. This needs to apply to the Quick Switch window, possibly as well as the filter in the sidebar.

For Quick Switch, we can consider libraries like fuzzy or fuzzysearch, like @roblav96 recommended. We will likely need to make the search results show at least 2 rows, to be able to fit the matching text, otherwise matches on e.g. long URLs won't fit as easily at smaller widths.

@gschier Here is what I have so far. What do you think? It is essentially working for the Quick Switch window.

Do you think I should apply the pattern matching to the sidebar as well? If so, should we even worry about URL in the sidebar, given it is too long to realistically show?

Woah, I'm really liking that @axs221. You want to put up a PR soon so we can finalize it?

[shawnaxsom]

@gschier Sure thing, here is a PR: #864.

It is a work in progress (see section What is left to do or discuss?), but it is usable. Feel free to review/comment if you want.
