A use-case the typeahead search model can not cover is when I have a lot of
files in a directory and want to work with a set of them which are identical in
some part of the filename. I had for example a direcotry with dump files where
always five belonged together. Unfortunately the part in the filename which
grouped them was in the middle (*-<number>.dmp). Here the filtering patch would
have been great and typeahead didn't helped me!

Besides the filtering patch, making typeahead not only at the beginning would be
great!

Hmm, but Beagle is Mono and I thought Mono won't be used by RedHat?!
