Type-ahead matches unexpected files #197

Closed chrisjbillington closed 6 years ago

chrisjbillington commented 6 years ago

When you start typing and polo selects files, it was unexpected to me that it would select files that contained the term I had typed anywhere within their names, and not just at the start.

For example if I type 'm' in my home directory I get ''Documents" as well as "Music" selected. I would have expected only "Music".

I understand it's a search that is selecting all matching files, but it is unexpected nonetheless. Perhaps the "filter" option could have this behaviour and the "select" option could match only the start of the strings?

The matching of unexpected files makes it difficult to use the type-ahead feature to navigate folder hierarchies using the keyboard only.

By the way this is a beautiful file browser!

Thank you! This is excellent news. And thanks for fixing the other bugs I reported. I'll give Polo another try now that these minor issues are resolved.
