This could be a bug, but the idea in general is not to type a prefix of the file you want to find, but some characteristic letters. For job.model.php you could type jm or jmp or mod. [...]

Brilliant! Didn't realise the algorthim was that good (duh - I guess I should have when Allan said he donated to quicksilver).

Actually Nicholas (QS author) also “complained” about the preference toward abbreviations instead of full substring matching ;)

I'll make it detect substring-typing better and also make sure that entering punctuation doesn't lead to a non-match.

But the idea is indeed that one should enter an abbreviation and not the actual full filename.
