Weaver,

And indeed it does. Even if the OP was not being polite, you are not 
suddenly given a free pass to write a rude reply. I was really 
disappointed to see your reply because, as Kaye points out, that kind of 
attitude reflects poorly on all of us. Please, if you haven't something 
constructive to offer, just don't post at all.

>I consider the original post not to be.

Hopefully it's now clear to you that you are mistaken since the OP's 
requirement is shared by several others.

Kaye,

I use Nemo and at least out-of-the-box, it does not do what you want.  
From what I recall GNOME's Nautilus file manager might do. However, at 
least by default, Nautilus performs a recursive search for all paths 
that match under the current directory when you start typing to search.  
For me, this is a blocker to using Nautilus (I could not risk, say, 
confidential HR documents flashing up when a colleague was in front of 
my screen. Although that's not going to happen any time soon)

The feature you want is sometimes described as "fuzzy searching". The 
command-line tool "fzf" does it, although it's a grep-like tool, not a 
file manager. There are plugins for Vim to do the same thing too 
(likewise, not a file manager). But perhaps looking for fuzzy searching 
as a feature will help.

Best wishes
