Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

File searching function does not understand filename globs "à la Windows".

E.g. Set the search target folder to "/boot", then type in "*.cfg". No results. If searching for "cfg" instead, grub.cfg is returned, as it should.

Searching for *.cfg should work as well, as it does for the locate command as well as the find command.
