Quick Search improve

Quick search can operate in 4 combination of two modes:
0. Match beginning
1. Match end

Can you make it more flexible, like that:

Match at beggining, ignoring some characters, e.g:
I have many folders, which name starts from different quantity of '_' character, like that

Code: Select all

__shpor\
__soft\
_Skype Recivied\
_Sysinternals\
_tv\
(for me, quantity of '_' is priority of file when sortin by name - more '_' is high priority)

so, I can't math them, typing a letter - I must type right quantity of '_' at begining and only after it I can type letters.

I cant't disable "0. Match beginning" because in this way I get a lot of rubbish in search result (from files that comntains typed letters in the middle of name)

Wouldn't QuickSearch eXtended with regexp support help your case?

QuickSearch eXtended of course will find such folders, but i should type something like this: ?^_*FOLDERNAME - too long, more easy to find manually.

Maybe search for _*bla-bla-bla (e.g. _*soft)?
