[jira] [Updated] (NETBEANS-2156) Fuzzy search for Go To
File/Symbol/Type
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-2156?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
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 "*page*bla" or "*Page*Bar" or "Bla*Page*Bla/bla*page*bla" 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.
