Make some Filter Bar preferences more user-facing

The options such as Ignore diacritics, Partial matching, and Use regular expression could be quite useful if present on the Filter Bar itself so that the features could be toggled for the current filter without needing to dive into the Preferences. I think this would add a little extra flexibility in my use of the Filter Bar. These options could either be appended to the already present Show everything as text, or possibly better as icons.

In the case of the latter two mentioned options, toggling partial matching in real-time would help return better results for example when you know for sure that an item begins with the string you're searching for. As for regular expressions, I typically have this enabled at all times, but sometimes instead of figuring out which symbols need escaping to match my string, being able to just toggle the feature off would quicken the process.

Thanks!

I'd also find it useful to have a quicker way to toggle some of those settings. It's on our list.
