[Usability]GNOME-SEARCH-TOOL should do a substring match as default

[=?iso-8859-13?q?Egl=EB_Girinait=EB?= <eglyte centras lt>]

Hi,

I agree with Michael Toomim - GNOME-SEARCH-TOOL should do a substring 
match as default. Most users, especially beginners, don't know anything 
about wildcards, but in most OS (or graphical environments) they can do 
succesfull search'es, because they just write part of filename (what 
they remember) and usually that's enough to find necessary files.

Btw, I think search tool should have posibility to search by size, see 
this bugreport:
