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
