How do I ignore extensions by default when using the FYAT, while retaining 'partial matches' ?
I would have to add an asterix and a period dot to target file types.
Example:
:4
That will select all my .mp4 files. Um, no I want to select "Pic 4".
Quotes doesn't fix it, not that I would want to have to type out quotes every time.
The problem is it's not ignoring extensions.
If I'm trying to select all file with the number 4 I'm screwed. Or anything with the number 3 all my .mp3's will be selected. This is no good.
Well,
This is a very vague selection already.
Yeah I understand why you want to eliminate the extension from the consideration but I guess it's just not there yet.
All you need is a character adjacent to the number that is different from any character adjacent to the number in the extension or some other easy combination that rules out the extension.

Try adding ? after the number.
I haven't tried this yet. It is only on the fly speculation .
It seems to work so far.

I wouldn't call it vague. File types is the most common thing besides file names; this being on their most common filter tool.
Ah yes, question mark works good! 
thanks.
Now it would be nice if the devs added an "ignore extensions" in the FYAT settings.
We'll add that in the next update.

Amazing. 
Another question, I'm not seeing it in the manual.
Could we temp override the options by putting a letter before the command operator?
For example, the colon is to select. So could c: be to select and enable case sensitive.
e: select, ignore extensions. Or e= find, use Everything engine. Something like that.
Or it would invert whatever our settings are. We would have to have our settings memorized.
If case sensitive is enabled by default, c would invert it to disabled for that one time.
Also with the ~to no match whatever we put. c~: (select, no match, case sensitive).
Possible to add this option to Filter Bar
