Subject: 26.0; `dired-isearch-filter-filesnames`: be able to match prefix
Date: Wed, 8 Nov 2017 08:13:17 -0800 (PST)

1. Typo in first line of doc string:

   Test whether the current search hit is a file name.

   It does not test whether the search hit is a file name.
   It tests whether the search hit is IN a file name.

2. Please provide a fix or enhancement that lets users match a search
   pattern at the beginning of a file name.  With
   `dired-isearch-filenames-regexp', for example, using "`\f" or "^f"
   does not match a file name that begins with "f".  It's not obvious
   how to match the beginning of a file name.
