Support fuzzy search of files and folders by pressing the string in the view #2660
Description
* Nemo version 4.2.3
* desktop
* Distribution - ubuntu 18
* no
* 64 bit
When I use nemo to search for files (not Ctrl+F), I open a folder, which contains a lot of files and folders as follows:
- afile
- bfile
- cfile
- dfile
When I press the button to match the file name, I enter "file" At this time, nemo cannot help me find the file, because it will only match the file starting with the "file" character. I don’t want this, because sometimes I can only remember a few characters. I hope he can match all the names. Is there any way to get it for files and folders containing "file"? Thanks!!!!

As shown,I hope it can output all items that contain the string "file"(like ctrl+f But only contains items in the current folder)

Since you are using the command line, you can search the current directory with
find . -iname '*file*'Alternatively, you could upgrade nemo to the current stable version - 4.8.4, available with Mint 20.1 or LMDE4 and gain a GUI search for files that contain 'file'

@JosephMcc why did you close this? Can you re-open until #3714 is merged?
