Description
### Enhancement Summary
I make the issue for being able to search files accurately (and less power & time consuming too) through the "My Computer" tab, using a syntax similar to Regex, grep, or a similar syntax style (like the voidtools' Everything app in Windows).
### Implementation Details / Mockup
It should be implemented in the Search text container, type the syntax and it should be enough.
Custom commands for searching specific directories could be appreciated.

Research direction
Start with the Search text container in the "My Computer" tab and trace how file searches are currently handled. Define the supported grep- or regex-like syntax and directory-selection behavior before implementation; done means accurate, less resource-intensive searches with any agreed custom-directory commands working.
