In TBPL we could set a regex filter to allow for things like "Linux.*talos". Neither "Linux talos" (for simple filtering based on whitespace) nor "Linux.*talos" works in treeherder. TBPL didn't support the former, but if that's easier to implement, then it might solve the problem well enough that regex support is unnecessary for now.

The other option would to be to combine the filters menu with the nav bar quick filter & make the more advanced filter options quicker to use. (At the moment they require too many clicks & are too slow for day to day use sheriffing).

This bug was fixed in https://github.com/mozilla/treeherder-ui/commit/5658db9b31b5c072953a22b2f15baedb7c5361d0 and reviewed by camd in a PR. Multiple space delimited words in the "Filter platforms & jobs" input box are now functional. You can test with: https://treeherder.mozilla.org/ui/#/jobs?searchQuery=linux%20talos

Thank you - the url form works now, but seeing some issues - bug 1059322 comment 5.
