The bug is lying around bugzilla[0].

Fernando did some hacking around an "Invert selection"[1], and he needed
to get through the content of the view.  There might be a start point
for the filter feature.  However nobody decided or gave ideas about how
the filter should be displayed to the user.  It could be in the location
(Ctrl+L) where the user could type /foo/bar/*.txt or it could even be
yet another little dialog like the Select by pattern.  Maybe just a
checkbox beneath the Select by pattern "Filter out".

Any opinion?  I hope someone can come with a good design ^_~
