Christian Lenz updated NETBEANS-2156: ------------------------------------- Description: When I want to jump to a file and I don't want to write the whole name, I use only a couple of characters, called fuzzy search (like Java code completion is using that). So when I open Go To File and write "page" I will got the result of all what page is inside AND and this is new, everything what have "p a g e" is inside. So I was searching for the package.json and when I type "page" it should be found too. Not on top, if there is more like "pagebla" or "PageBar" or "BlaPageBla/blapagebla" but it should be in the result list. So when I now search for "page.js" or "pagejs" it should be more clear what I want to find -> "*pa*cka*ge*.*js*on". This is how VS Code handles it and IDEA too. Maybe Eclipse too, but I don't know it. This will makes live easier. I know that the result list will be big but type one or two more characters to filter the list. That's it. See no problems with that. was: When I want to jump to a file and I don't want to write the whole name, I use only a couple of characters, called fuzzy search (like Java code completion is using that).
