I am trying to facilitate my file research by having not a random search of the letters in the whole file name (and folder name) but having a search that looks for the sequence (without having to put some quotation marks).
Things I have tried
I tried with “Another Quicksearch”, but this actually makes it worst, where I am sometimes not even able to find the file I am looking for (even when the query is the exact name of this file). Moreover, after deleting the Plugin, the normal File Explorer does not work any more (although I checked and there is no Hotkey conflict). Could you please help me sort this out ?
You need to specify it is file search and add / to turn on regex and ^ to indicate that whatever you type afterwards for filename must start with that char.
If you miss adding ^, you will get any strings containing the filename.
Experiment with it.
Just nothing happens when I press the hotkey Ctrl+O (I have tried other hotkeys for the same action, but they don’t work either, so I guess it is a system failure..).
Note sure I understood about the “/”. I use ^ now before my research, which delivers nicely, but if I could have the same result without having to add each time the ^ before, it would be optimal. Is there a feature in “Additional Quicksearch” or another plugin ?
