> It would just return too much irrelevant garbage

If you use an algorithm that will assign a smart score to each result, you will always find the mose similar hits on top. Note that Google works exactly the same. You may get 100.000 hits, but most of the time, you will find your target in the top ten.

What I actually meant was that people might forget the exact name of the file they are searching for. Technically, this is the same as allowing the user to make spelling errors in their search queries.
