The heuristic is presently so that when you add a period, it wants exact extension match, so that’s what you’re seeing.

The idea is that you may have lots of css and c files, so ‘rn.c’ should give you ‘release notes controller.c’ rather than ‘release-notes.css‘ — maybe not the best example, but that’s the basic idea (i.e. being able to filter out all the irrelevant file types).

If you want fuzzy match, you can leave out the period.
