Fuzzy finder search should have path prefilled
When launching the fuzzy file finder from a sub-directory of a project with lots of files and folders, if I want to search that directory I will need to retype it into the search field. We should prefill the sub-directory so that it's easy to search the context you are in.
Proposal
Prefill the fuzzy file finder in the repository browser with the directory the user launched it from (e.g. app/models
)
The user can easily backspace/clear it.
Below is an example of the current file finder without prefill and an example of on page file finder with prefill. The difference in search time is 8 seconds from this manual video recording:

On page searching is a feature from Allow for find file search to be on the page (#430775 - closed). It would make sense to do that issue prior to this one.
