Description
Right now a space character is taken literally in 'Go to directory'. This is not intuitive; usually in search boxes we use space to separate search terms. I would expect the search "fman plugins" to find "~/Library/Applications Support/fman/Plugins". Right now I have to type "fmanplugins or "fman/plugins". Also I should be able to find "/usr/local/Cellar" by typing "usr Cellar" (typing "usr/Cellar" feels like a hack).

Research direction
No file or test is named; start by locating the implementation of the “Go to directory” search and its handling of query spaces. Verify the behavior with paths such as “fman plugins” matching the fman Plugins directory and “usr Cellar” matching /usr/local/Cellar.
