Feature Request: Quick search (CTRL-S) change

Post by *beernutz »

Would be VERY nice if i could search using a .Contains when i do Ctrl+S, but leave the quick search (non Ctrl+s) using the .StartsWith kind of search.

To expand:

Say i have a lot of files named something like this:

Code: Select all

importAAAW.cfm
importAAMT.cfm
importAAQPH.cfm
importROPS.cfm
Normally i like being able to type just 'I' and move the cursor to the first one that starts with 'I'. I would really like to leave the normal "type while you are in the folder" behavior alone, and still be able to press Ctrl-S and then type 'ROPS' to show me only the files that have ROPS in them.

The point is that I would like the normal behavior to be a "starts with" search, but have the Ctrl+S behavior be a "contains" search.

Does this make sense?

Lol, well that is BETTER at least. Two extra key strokes, but it gets me close.

Would still like to see it implemented "my way" though. 8)

Thanks holger!
