I dont think it would add much complexity. Possibly it just boils down to use
"g_strrstr" instead of "g_str_has_prefix" or something similar.

> a search field always sitting in the top, right of the location bar, and an extra tab in the settings dialog
Thunar plugins need to use the thunarx API. Afaik this API currently does not
allow to put widgets near the location bar or adding extra setting tabs .. the
possibilities available to plugins are very limited, like adding context menu
entries.

> Thunar should also be able to display files sitting in multiple directories (results of the search), as opposed to working always only on current working directory.
This bug is not about adding something complex like recursive search. There is
e.g. catfish for this purpose. If you request a catfish-like search, integrated
in thunar, please open a separate bugreport.
