When searching for filenames (and uncommon compared to other file search utils) it's rather inconvenient having to add wildcards to search for wordforms
It's not content search, so the level of noise is much lower.

Hence I'd like to have a default "fuzzy search" when choosing 'File name' and only if it's too noisy click some checkbox to make the search more strict and require '*' wildcards

Is that possible (maybe there is some hidden config)?
