Description-en: sorting algorithm for fuzzy matching in Emacs
The flx sorting algorithm for Emacs provides fuzzy matching for
completion engines like Ido. It is similar to the fuzzy matching
functionality of Sublime Text.
.
The user can input (i) characters from the beginning of the words of
the desired match and (ii) substrings of the desired match. For
example, when matching "save-all-buffers", the user could input
"sallb", and when matching "eval-buffer" the user could input
"ebuffer".
.
The flx sorting algorithm implements an intelligent trade-off between
word beginnings and contiguous substrings when ranking possible
matches.
