But with the new browser when I hit *, my system just goes "Bong" with an error sound
After using <kdb>Ctrl+L</kbd>? There are actually 2 ways to search/filer: * <kbd>Ctrl+L</kbd>: location entry, e.g. you can type a file path, and it should provide completion * <kbd>Ctrl+F</kbd> (or just typehead, e.g. start typing in the file list) : search *recursively* for file names in the current directory (using a substring search, e.g. can match any part of the filename)
In either case I don't know why you'd get a *bong* [^1], but maybe the search features suites you better?
[^1]: again, I'm not very knowledgeable about Windows behavior, so if there are differences between Linux and Windows here (which is possible given it's interacting with the OS) I am likely to miss them.
