Hello! First, I would like to thank you for this great utility that you are providing free of charge.

The current name search feature is good, but it can only find entries that start with what is is typed. For example, if I want to open BestCrypt, I have to type "best". Typing "crypt" would not find BestCrypt. If you are familiar with Listary or QuickJump, you know how nice it is to have such a search feature implemented.

Secondly, is it possible to automatically reposition the cursor over the search field, because if the menu is too high, the cursor will most of the time fall over a folder or something. I even managed to exit SyMenu several times while trying to find an entry using the Search field.

Thank you!

Hi.

I already set in my TODO list an entry to implement a new option to let you choose the searching system (the current one or your proposed one). I can't replace at all the current search mode with a search-inside-title mode because for some users (for me too) it creates too much noise in the result list.

Regarding the reposition on the search bar when you type another letter I can try to work on it, but I don't know if it is possible to solve the problem because the component I used to create that menu works in that way... I don't know why.
Anyway I promise that I will try to workaround the problem in some way.

Excellent. Adding search-in-title as an alternative sounds great!

Regarding cursor repositioning, at least from my behalf, you can forget about it- it is an issue for me only when having the menu position set to "Mouse location". I have now set it to "Left upper screen" and I get less interference with the pointer over the folders.
