Personally, the biggest annoyance with Thunar is this support -- I think it
should at least search for substrings, if not match regexes.

I think matching regexes would be the best option -- it can be treated as a
simple substring search, but it can also (surprise) handle searching by regex.

Often when looking for a file, I remember a part of the name, but this part
doesn't always start at the 0th character, so this would be a useful feature
for me.
