Sorry for the late response, but while you did get answers about
scrolling and filtering the buffer list, I thought I'd mention one more
option.

If you enter ":buf bc.h" and then press <Tab>, Vim will tab complete to
the full path of the first buffer matching that substring, if any. The
substring does *not* appear to be treated as a regex.

If there is more than one match, pressing <Tab> will cycle through them
in buffer order, cycling back to what you typed (to let you easily
change it?), and then back through the matches in order.
