I think using isearch in Dired to match only at filenames is a very good idea.

With patches (uninstalled due to feature freeze) from the thread
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2005-03/msg00785.html
this implementation can be collapsed even more:
(set (make-local-variable 'isearch-success-function)
(lambda () (get-text-property (1- point) 'help-echo)))
or with a new function `dired-pos-in-filename-p':
(set (make-local-variable 'isearch-success-function)
'dired-pos-in-filename-p)

And to use the same key to activate other links-only searches like on
links in Info (filenames in dired buffers are links too).
