Description Sean 2009-11-15 20:25:22 UTC 
When typing into Nautilus windows to get search/highlight, wildcards are ignored.  So if I type *.txt I get no matches, but if I type foo.txt it will highlight foo.txt.  This is something Windows 7 Explorer gets right and it makes using the graphical file manager WAY more pleasant for advanced users without at all impacting the usability for novice users.
