Feature Request: sepparate glob option for filter command

[Catalyn45]

Hello,

I saw that currently the globsearch option is used to allow patterns (like *) both in search and filter commands.

My general usecase is: when I search for a directory/file, usually I do it by the first or last letters from it's name but when I'm using the filter command usually I want to use patterns, ex: *.go.

If I enable the globsearch then I can't quickly search for a file, because I always need to use * as suffix or prefix or both, and if I let it disabled then I can't use patterns in filter command to filter only files for a specific extension.

I was wondering if it's feasible to have a separate option, let's say globfilter which will be only for the filter command, and if there are people who finds this useful.

I guess a workaround could be to create custom commands which will dynamically set and unset globsearch before search and filter but then if I first filter, then I want to search on the filtered results it will reset.

I can't think of a good solution either since globsearch is used in in dir.sort to selectively display the files matching the filter, which means it has to be enabled for the entire duration for which the filter is applied.

Considering that there are separate options for incremental updates (incfilter and incsearch), I think it would make sense to have separate options for globs too. Your suggestion of adding globfilter sounds reasonable to me.
