Allow to search for text in files stored in the SCM

The RTC SCM stores a lot of files in components and streams. Some of them are text files.

We need to have a new search function in order to find text files stored in the SCM from a string pattern.

It should be possible to parametrize the search with :
- A search pattern which should be a regular expression.
- An optional list of components and/or baselines and/or streams and/or snapshots to search in.
- An optional list of file extensions to search for.

Note that this request for enhancement is mainly for the use on RTC client on Visual Studio, but can be considered a request for the RTC SCM in general, whatever the client that is used.

    As part of the review process, we strive to be transparent about our intentions with each enhancement suggestion. We have carefully reviewed this idea, and based on our understanding of it, do not see that it fits in our current plans. However, if the enhancement remains important and you believe additional detail would help, please open a new RFE and we will review. Although we are closing this request, it will be kept in IBM's ideas repository and may be reassessed or reopened for additional discussion in the future. We value your feedback and thank you for allowing us to partner with you in developing our products.

    this is currently not on our 24 month road map as we have several higher priority items to address.
