All searches are wild card searches, so to speak - searching for "smurf frumf" will match "smurf glunka frumf.mp3" as well as "glunka frumf smurf.mp3" (as well as "jukqw frumf lax smurf.txt").

Hope you understand what I mean.

You search for some *really* strange stuff sarf.

I think he's looking for something a bit more like "ab*yz.mp?" which would return abcyz.mp3 and and abcdeyz.mpg, etc....it's just a way to narrow down the already wildcarded searches. I personally think it's fine the way it is. *shrug*
