Description

In the Add Processor dialog, it would be useful to be able to search by camel case, as many IDEs support.

For example:

typing gff -> GenerateFlowFile
typing cat -> ConvertAvroToJSON, ConvertAvroToORC

etc.

My guess is that the ajax request for the search query could be sent to the server and parsed into a regex for uppercase characters, and then a union query applied to the available list of processors.
