+<p>
+Use this method to supply a glob pattern for labels which create implicit net connections
+on the top level circuit. This feature is useful to connect identically labelled nets
+while a component isn't integrated yet. If the component is integrated, net may be connected
+on a higher hierarchy level - e.g. by a power mesh. Inside the component this net consists
+of individual islands. To properly perform netlist extraction and comparison, these islands
+need to be connected even though there isn't a physical connection. "join_nets" can
+achive this if these islands are labelled with the same text on the top level of the
+component.
+</p><p>
+Glob pattern are used which resemble shell file pattern: "*" is for all labels, "VDD"
+for all "VDD" labels (pattern act case sensitive). "VDD*" is for all labels beginning
+with "VDD" (still different labels will be connected to different nets!). "{VDD,VSS}"
+is either "VDD" or "VSS".
+</p><p>
+The search pattern is applied on the next net extraction. The search pattern is cleared
+on "clear_connections".
