I don't see any way to use wildcard in quicksearch field.

Well, '*' and '?' symbols are common for filemasks since MS-DOS or maybe even earlier times. I just wonder what is the reason in additional options if quick search can accept typical filemask. I suppose current behaviour is less difficult to implement. Maybe, indeed, nobody would use filemasks.

It is a bug.. I will fix that.

Well I did search for: Quick Search, before I posted in a new thread.
Apparently the board software can't find this thread because it is named "midfilenamequick search" instead of "mid-filename quick search"

Why not? An asterix (wildcard) '*' and question mark '?' are not allowed in file or folder names. So if it they were used in the Quick Search field, they could easily represent what they do almost every where else, all the way from GLOB matching, basic CMD.exe|Batch and many other editing-type applications use '*' and '?'.

I been thinking about maybe adding wildcard support.. However it would require a bit of redesign. So Im not sure If Im up for that.
