I can see no way to discover, short of manually comparing the "Searching for:" input with the filename under the selector.

The Find Filename dialog has drastically changed in the 3.2 beta. Feel free to update or install a Portable Install to see the differences.
In the upcoming version, we display a status bar pop-up if no matches were found. If there is a match, it will be selected.Aaron P Scooter Software

How do you get past that look if the find is doing a partial match? If you type "fin" in the search box, then you could be matching a file named "finish", or "finnish", or "finned rockets". What I've missed in the past is the option to go to the next matching file; I've only been able to do better by making the match text more complete.
FWIW, in Windows Explorer, I'm used to taking a quick look for a file by typing the first letter (er, character), which takes me to the next match. Typing the same letter cycles through the other files with the same first letter/character.

In the 3.2 beta, the Folder Compare also has "incremental search" (find as you type). In order to go to the next item that starts with the same letter, you can terminate the current search by pressing [ESC]. You can also wait (approximately 1 second) for the current search to automatically terminate.
