FEATURE: Search in currently visible

Did you check the docs?

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Here's my immediate experience of NeoTree.

I'm setting up a new install of Astronvim and trying to get to my config files.

I open NeoTree (<Leader>-e), I toggle hidden (H), I try to get to my ~/.config directory so I type .config, I get a ton of results (since I'm in my home directory) and they're all files (not my ~/.config directory).

I try filter on submit f/, I type .config, still just files (I guess it uses the same logic).

I read the docs and see there's a directory search, D. I type D then .config but there are no results (are hidden directories ignored?). I notice the Find at the top shows Find ".conf" - is it working?

After 20 seconds or so there are a ton of results (every .config directory on my computer).

I just want a way to quickly go to the .config directory I can see on the screen... I resort to using j...

Describe the solution you'd like.

I think it would be better not to override the default behaviour of / so search in buffer works as normal.

Describe alternatives you've considered.

Or have an option to search non-recursively, or only visible items.

you can disable the special neo-tree mappings by setting the binds to none/noop:

require('neo-tree').setup({
  filesystem = {
    window = {
      mappings = {
        ['/'] = 'none',
        n = 'none',
        N = 'none',
      }
    }
  }
})

i prob agree that filter should probably be changed to a different bind but would need to be a 4.0 thing

I open NeoTree (-e), I toggle hidden (H), I try to get to my ~/.config directory so I type .config, I get a ton of results (since I'm in my home directory) and they're all files (not my ~/.config directory).

this might be a bug with the external cmd arguments neo-tree is using to fetch results, will investigate.
