when searching with 'g' I can only enter 1 letter into the search bar, if the first letter is capital I can enter another one but no more, I tried with using / inside the search bar but same thing happens
The search in MOC is an incremental one which means that it will progressively limit the displayed files to those which start with the characters entered up to that point. If there are no files which have a next character beyond those already matched which matches the character being entered in the search bar then it will not be accepted.
Without further information, my first guess is it that this is what is happening in your case, and I can certainly reproduce it under these circumstances. My second guess is that multibyte Unicode characters may be involved.

Possibly Nothing To Find?
