Description
Docs currently say
Tests may be filtered in Visual Studio under Update 1 or later by Trait, Project, Error Message, File Path, Fully Qualified Name, Output and Outcome. Use the search edit box at the top of the list of tests to specify a filter.
But it's not clear how to create a filter expression that is of the form PropertyName=PropertyValue. I've tried Trait:PropertyName=PropertyValue as well as some other variants replacing the "=" character with no success.
