What is the Quick filter and how to use it?
The quick filter provides the possibility to decrease the number of shown folders and files. It is sufficient to type a filter string in the “Quick filter input field” (at the right end of the status bar) to filter files and folders quickly. Only files and folders are shown then, whose names contain the quick filter string.
To activate the quick filter, start typing within the quick filter field. To deactivate, click the quick filter button. You can use the quick filter button to toggle quick filter.
Quick filter field is too narrow. Is it possible to make it wider?
Yes, it is, in the “Settings (F12) → Quick search/filter/starter → Quick filter” increase the number in the Edit field – width.

Yes, you can remove it in the “Settings (F12) → Quick search/filter/starter → Quick filter” by unselecting the option “Quick filter bar always visible”.
I would like to see different information for some file types (e.g. mp3) in the status bar. Can I change the status bar content depending on the file type?
