"Startwith" filter

Post by askold »

usually i use startwith: function or ^ symbol in regex-mode.
how to make a working filter to search from the beginning of the file name?

e.g. i have 3 files on disk:

09. Tell Me Why.mp3
Why'd You Bring a Shotgun to the Party.mp3
why nations fail.pdf


typing why in the search field must show only second and third files.

I use this filter:

To search for names that start with a "_", I type
^:_
or I enable the "^" filter and type
_

EDIT:
You can name the filter anything you like, but for me ^ makes it easily recognizable among the other filters.
