Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Sometimes, the file search feature is not robust enough and I'd like to find files by patterns in their file names.

Describe the solution you'd like
Much like the find all search feature in VS Code, I'd like to be able to toggle on/off regex searching.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the existing file-search implementation, then compare the requested toggle with VS Code's find-all regex behavior. The work is complete when file-name searches can be switched between literal and regular-expression matching.
