Quick Find, regex:-like syntax (or something simpler)?

FAYT (Find As You Type) starts its find "from the beginning of a name"
So 'red' jumps to r, then re, then red.

Quick Find can also find 'red', but there is no way to do something like "find names that begin with 'red'".
If you could do /red or ^red (with / or ^ meaning the name should begin with 'red'), something like that would work.
As it is "red" finds stuff like:

blue.red.blue, bluered, red.blue, red., red.x

.

Being able to only come up with (jump to); red.blue, red., red.x ... would be nice (in particular when you're not in an alpha sort).

Quick find will look anywhere in the filename for your search.

Quick find does support regex.

Please try the following quick find search:

regex:^red



Support for /red or ^red is a little tricky as / means wildcard * and ^ is a valid filename character.



It's probably easier to use FAYT ?
Are you using F3 to go to the next quick find?

[void]

Please try the following quick find:

red*

The wildcard forces whole filename matching.

[therube]

red*

That looks like it will do it, thanks .

Just bumping this, cause I'd forgotten that regex: ability existed here.

[Quick Find]

regex:everythin\s

.


And I'll note, that the same ability also exists for FAYT (search_for_PATH_when_you_start_typing=1).
