Find & navigate to folders easily like Everything

Everything is a very fast indexing program for searching files and folders.
I like Go To dialog a lot because I can type a folder name (doesn't matter which path),
and it finds the folder I want and I can easily navigate to that folder without using Everything.
I use Go To dialog but I saw that Count for mruGoto is always 64.
Even when I change it to 512 or any number, it will always changes to 64.

Yes, it's limited to 64. We don't want the INI file to explode.

Suggestions are welcome, if you don't want to change the static limit. Because it's just limiting the user experience, sure the paths can be moved to another file.
A simple text file containing the paths and their recency (frequency + recent) would work really well and help users a lot when navigating.
A good CLI example is
autojump

I thought about it and decided to raise the limit from 64 to 256.

I'm still looking for a solution like wch or autojump.
Admin, please take a look at wch:

My question: is implementing such feature possible through scripting?

Nope because e.g. the filter box from inputselect() doesn't allow a regex mode
where each typed character is automatically (but non visible) surrounded by
".*". Which would allow very fast narrowing of possible matches. I requested
that feature long ago but iirc I never got any response... The only way to
get this atm it to use an external tool that does exactly that an communicates
with XY. But then you can also just use Everything instead...
