[ BUILD # : 201209240001 ] [ JDK VERSION : 1.6.35 ] Jump to any buried file by just a couple of characters. (feature from intellij idea) See screenshot (taken from there tips of the day screen)

FYI See http://plugins.netbeans.org/plugin/16495/open-file-fast
As far as I know the http://plugins.netbeans.org/plugin/16495/open-file-fast is obsolete as the Go To File has index covering the sources. Originally NB 6.x the Go To File was implemented by file crawling on FS which is slow. Also it's very different to the IntelliJ feature form comment #1. The IJ feature is a part of the project view.
This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue. Thanks for your cooperation, NetBeans IDE 8.2 Release Boss
