HAAA! Yes, Quick search is matching more than one (first) letter!

... But "a few seconds" looks like a few milliseconds! For example, on TV box (with air mouse) is totally impossible to type two letters in such a short period of time, unless they are positioned next to each other. Not on smartphone is much better, except for those kids who are typing 2.000 letters per minute with eyes closed, for whom a smartphone is prosthesis which they are excluded from the hand only when they are sleeping. But they are using Facebook as a file manager, rather than Total Commander.

Mr. Ghisler, these "few seconds" should be extended for at least 2-3 times.
... And users will be happiest to get Quick search as close to TotalCmd for Windows.
Quick search is a great feature.

It's currently just 1 second - indeed a bit small. I will increase it to 2 seconds for devices with a touch screen, and 5 seconds for a device without a touch screen when the on screen keyboard is up (otherwise also 2 seconds for hardware keyboard).
