Some methods have a filter string (for example, the browse methods find_by_type() and find_by_parent() in DAISNode and DAISItem).
The filter string shall contain a pattern that is used to match a text string (e.g., the pathname). The text strings matching
the pattern are passing the filter.
The strings that may appear in the filter string pattern are listed below.
