Currently when typing foo in File Paths of Code Search tool window, the search is implicitly transformed to *foo* (basically a sub-string match). This is useful in most cases, but there are cases where searching for a specific filename can be useful (e.g. Makefile).
To enable these "exact" match searches, the proposal is to allow using double quotes around the path.
So, "foo" would search only files that are exactly named foo
