[Feature request] As-you-type menu search that includes file extentions

[vatterspun]

So I've been using Asuite for years now and thought this might be a nice addition. I recognize this is a fairly specific ask that not many people are going to run into so, if this is out of scope or not interesting, please feel free to close the case.

Use case

As someone with a LOT of entries and subfolders in my Asuite menu that aren't just programs, I'd like to be able to sort through various file types quickly.

Current behavior:

When you right-click the taskbar and press a letter on the keyboard, it will jump to the first item on the list. If you have files added (e.g. templates.doc) it won't find anything when you type "doc".

Requested behavior:

Show file extensions for non-programs.

There's some overlap with other tools here, including

• Windows 10. Limitations there are that the program invariably only shows one option when there are a number of possible matches (e.g. if you type "wo" it will only show Word and not Wordpad).
• Keyboard based launchers like Launchy and Find and Run Robot of course also have functions like this sort through them in a visual way like Asuite.

Background:

Almost always I use the recently launched menu in the Asuite left-click menu. Occasionally I look at the larger menu with sub-menus. What I'd like to be able to do is start importing all my files and then just type the first few characters of the extension to show those. Like all .PDF or .DOC files.

So you mean to extend the search engine (of GraphicMenu) to find all items with path as match string.

Sample:
I have a list with some files .PDF (ex. very_important_doc.pdf). These items have name without extensions (very_important_doc). If you type '.pdf' in gm's search:

• As is, it will scan item name and search list will be empty
• To be, it will scan item name AND path. So search list will be populated with .pdf files.

That's what you meant, right?

As is, it will scan item name and search list will be empty

Correct...

To be, it will scan item name AND path.

When you say path I'm thinking of very_important_doc.pdf is in c:\temp then you can type in "TEMP" and it will show the file in question. I was more thinking of the extension, but I can think of some examples where content in the path would also be valuable.
