Steps to reproduce

  1. Create a folder with a name like "Laura Geburtstag"
  2. In the folder section search for "Geburtstag"

Current behavior
The folder "Laura Geburtstag" is not shown.
Searching for *Geburtstag does work.

Expected behavior
The folder "Laura Geburtstag" must be shown.

Note that searching for terms at the end of a pathname in this view requires a * wildcard.

We/I had stumbled upon this problem a few weeks ago on Matrix. I feel like adding that this noticeably degrades usability on mobile, where starting a search term with * means additional typing. For folder a structure like mine (YYYY/MM-DD <event_name>} that affects every folder search, of course.

Hi,

I still don't exactly get how the search works. When I search for "test", then it only finds one of two folders with "test" in it. It's also counterintuitive to write wildcards in a search input.
