In a similar vein, I would love for a "*.EXT" functionality, where I 
don't have to click on the filters, but could type in to the location 
bar something with a filename glob and it would filter accordingly. 
Like, "2010_Taxes*.ods" might filter all but the files that match that 
glob pattern.

Is this already implemented and I'm just not aware how to use it?  Or is 
there some reason (other than lack of someone coding it) that prevents 
this feature?

Thanks,
