If there are multiple files with the same filename in a project, typing the filename presents them all but you cannot enter more text to narrow them down by path. For example:
search/README.md
database/README.md
If I enter "README" I'll get both files but cannot enter "search" or "database" to select from them. If I enter "search READ" it will narrow it to a single file, but I don't always know I'll have multiple matches until the filenames have been presented. (Think "index.js" or "index.coffee" in a large project.)
By switching the search order, I could enter "README", see there are multiple matches, and start typing "search" to narrow it down to the one I wanted.
