Right now the Quick Filter filters items based exactly on the provided expression. And so the user has to know the exact name or part of name of the file that the user is looking for. But what if the user knows only some parts of the name, that are spaced apart within filename?
For comparison, in Mp3tag the user can enter in the Filter box something like
most ever my
in order to be presented by the program with a file named
My Most Favorite Greatest Song Ever
on the list with filtered files - while at the same time the user can also enter
"My Most Favorite Greatest Song Ever"
[i.e. enclosed with quotation marks] in order to rule out cases of filenames with names like
Some Other Favorite Song
Greatest Song But Not To My Taste
So currently the Quick Filter feature of FreeCommander works more like a basic Search and does not allow for very quick searches. And so I propose either adding to FreeCommander another Quick Filter feature which would allow for such really quick, ambiguous and scrappy searches like that one from my example above; either in a separate box - or in the already existing box of Quick Filter, but with an added option of quickly switching between modes of operating available with a single click of a button / icon [placed next to the box]
Quick Filter works more like a search feature
Re: Quick Filter works more like a search feature
Well, does anyone comply with my remarks / suggestions?
Re: Quick Filter works more like a search feature
Since you apparently already know Everything (https://freecommander.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12368), what's wrong with Everything for this purpose?
Re: Quick Filter works more like a search feature
Not having to relay on just one software and not being forced to ditch search in FreeCommander after initial Quick Search in it [thus making it overall not-so-quick search]
Apparently I have been using Search and Quick Search of FC for so long that even after months after installation of Everything I still forget that I even have it. Apparently I act like a computerized Pavlov's dog: I smell search and I start to drivel with FreeCommander
