Same as 'which' but with the option of use wild cards. Faster than 'lookfor'

Exactly what I was looking for. The nice thing about descriptive file/function names is that there descriptive. The bad thing is that there long and hard to remember exactly. I'm always hunting down my own files and failing with "which" because I forget a syllable in the name or some letter.
I guess if I had to be a naysayer and an ingrate at that I would suggest enhancing the search with filters like a file finder has (content keywords, date).
