That's pretty compelling. Connecting to devices to improve filtering
goes
against our privacy model in the UI.

I'm close to saying we should go for this idea. If we can think of
how, it
would be good to make it API obvious that this isn't desirable..
meaning
you should have to write something more or as much of a filter in
order to
do a wildcard filter.
