Previously, only the start of the filename was matched. Now, the entire file name is searched (case insensitive), e.g. if you have 3 files named "foobar", "foobaz", "foolol", you can simply start typing "lol" and the last file will be selected automatically.

This applies to both, list view and icon view.

Closes #2660.
