RFE: Remove "Noise" from File Names
Or perhaps instead of "noise" it could be considered a "sounds-like", or "similar name" function.

Could come in handy?
Such that ...

Code: Select all

video_01(4).wmv == video_01(15).wmv == video_01.

Where the (4) & (15) are considered "noise".

Similarly ...

Code: Select all

2010_presidential_debate.pdf == 2010 presidential debate.pdf == 2010-Presidential.Debate.pdf

Perhaps "noise" characters could be dropped altogether & the entire name concatenated into single string so that it all of the above resolves (internally) to "2010presidentialdebate.pdf".

And then even further extended such that ...

Code: Select all

2010presidentialdebate.pdf == 2011presidentialdebate.pdf == 2010presidentialdebateiowa.pdf

Good ideas - the fuzzy (similar) search kind of does this - it'll ignore numbers, etc, but won't work if the names are too different.
