Thank you for explaining about plugins limitations.

> 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.

Then I don't see what is the end result after performing the search. I suspect
only filtered files matching search query in current directory is what you
suggesting? And this is just two small steps away from making it go recursive.
We have Ctrl+S which is sort of doing the search already, it's just made for
selecting matched files (which is in a way you can called "searched" items) and
not filtering out unmatched.

Personally, I really like that just by typing (or by what I call useless
shortcut currently - Ctrl+F) I can select the file starting from match - I use
this daily. I see valid uses for Ctrl+S as well. So it means only one more
function either hidden somewhere in the menu or under new shortcut, which is
again - not very user friendly as the bug title wants. Maybe typing in the
directory could be separated from the Ctrl+F shortcut and this shortcut could
then act as filtering by keyword match?
