Feature-Request: Fast Search in CD Tree with substring

[knowbody]

Hi

I like the search feature in the CD tree very much.
A (optional) substring search however would be more preferable for me since - probably like many users - I'm often using numbers at the beginning of directory names to influence order.

The problem is: if e.g. a directory is named "1_Programming" typing "P...R...O...G..." (withour the dots!) will never take me to the dir in the tree.
Matching on substring could solve the probem.

What do you mean?

Interesting idea! Maybe I will use wildcards (*,?) instead.

Why don't you implement in CD tree the same QS modes you already did in panels? They already support wildcards ;).[/face]

Thank you very much for your comments!

Please consider that that it should be a fast (!) search.
So always typing an * before the actual directoy name you have in mind could be one keystroke to much
The current "search as you type" behaviour is great.

Maybe an option like "ignore leading special chars" would be a solution.
TC should at least ignore chars like [0-9] _ and blank.
(Sounds almost like a spec - doesn't it ?)
