SUMMARY

When searching for files in folders within dolphin it is very hit or miss for a
match when the text clearly contains the characters being searched for.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a new folder and name it whatever you want
2. Create a few new files in that directory with several different variations
of the same name, and possibly contain other special characters like
underscores or dashes
3. Type in the word or characters that you know are included in all the files
and see which ones match
4. Remove a character at a time to see how the search varies (you should see
several files you created during this exercise do not show up in the results)
5. (Bonus bug) If you take it one step further and clear the search and press
enter it will then list the folder that contains the files in addition to the
files as if they were all in the same directory and not directly within that
folder (the folder should never appear in a search within itself)

OBSERVED RESULT

Several files do not show up when searching, different variations of file names
seem to determine what shows in the search results regardless of if the file
contains the character sequence.

EXPECTED RESULT

For it to show all matching criteria regardless of what the file is called as
long as it includes the character sequence entered in the search.
