Add shortcuts for "startwith" and "endwith" functions

[Dariush]

The symbols ^ and $ cannot be used in filenames anyway, so why not use them as a shortcut? E.g. "test .txt$" would be internally equivalent to "test endwith:.txt".

Both symbols are allowed and work fine in Windows filenames.

I'll consider adding optional ^ and $ shortcuts for startwith:/endwith:

Thanks for the suggestion.

Currently, you could try searching for:
*.txt

or, enable regex from the Search menu and search for:
\.txt$

Thanks.

Whoops, you're right.

FWIW, I use this

Filter definition:
Name:

^

Search:

startwith:myquery:

Macro:

^<myquery>

Filters can be configured under Menu:Search > Organize Filters

Oooh, it works! Thanks a lot!
