ctrl + p and ctrl + shift + p should support fuzzy search

Matthias Traunsberger 4 years ago updated by Thomas Singer 4 years ago 1

I love the search panels that open on ctrl+p (cmd+p) or ctrl+shift+p (cmd+shift+p), but the search algorithm could be improved.


Let's say I want to search for a branch called "feature/abcd-1234_description_blablabla". I can type "feat", or "1234", or "descr", or "bl" and the listing will show the branch I'm looking for.


I'm not able to enter multiple search token separated by space. I would like to be able to enter "fea<space>1234<space>descr" and still seeing the branch I want. For me, it would be fine/expected that the single fuzzy search tokens are compared as starting strings and not substrings, e.g. I would not expect my branch to be found, when I search for "fea<space>escription", but when I type "fea<space>desc". But this could be a setting in the preferences.

The order of my search token should not matter regarding whether a branch or tag is listed or not.

GOOD, I'M SATISFIED

I downloaded the preview version and tried the new functionality. Now it's so much easier for me to find what I'm looking for. Thank you so much.

I'm looking forward to the release.

Thanks for the exact description of what you want to get. I have implemented something like this in 20.2 and it should be available in build 16067+.
