Bug Description
It would be good if type ahead searched in current folder instead of just filtering words starting with typed phrase. for example typing .deb would show .deb packages in the directory.

I presume by "type ahead" you mean searching by directly typing at the view (without selecting the pathbar) rather than the completion facility when typing a path.
If you press <Ctrl>F before or after typing your search term then the first section of the search results window gives you the results you require. I think most other file managers use a "begins with" search in the current directory in response to direct typing so, presumably, this is now the expected behaviour and if you are using the function for rapid navigation is what you want.
For the example you give, you could also sort on the type (at least in list view) to group all the .deb files together.
