Description
when searching with /abcd inside tree view, it would be nice if the search bar tried to match something with every character typed, so you know immediately whether you're typing it right or if the file even exists in tree.

Research direction
Start by tracing the tree view search-bar handling and the existing behavior for input such as /abcd. Determine where matching is performed as characters are typed. Done means each character immediately updates whether a matching file exists, with behavior that can be verified interactively in tree view.
