When searching for a file, don't just do exact matches. If there is a file named "foo_bar.js" if the user types "fb" it could come back. Think, awesomebar for the file finder.

This is a mass migration from Mozilla Labs :: Bespin to Bespin :: General. This bug likely still needs to be triaged and categorized.

Dion, if you type "fb" Quickopen will find the file "foo_bar.js". That's the way it's implementated at the moment. You might won't find the file in the serach result, as at the moment only the first 12 matches are displayed. Do you think this bug could be marked as fixed then? Julian
Absolutely. Thanks!

you could use R719 for this; that's where Quickopen was introduced.
