vim-fuzzysearch

Adds fuzzy capabilities to normal search in vim.

:FuzzySearch

Acts just like normal buffer searching, except with fuzzy matching between each letter.
Space matches a series of any characters(translates to .\{-})

Matching

By default, fuzzysearch doesn’t match over spaces. That means that "fr" will NOT match "foo bar", but "f r" will. If you dislike this behaviour, set g:fuzzysearch_match_spaces = 1. The reasoning behind the default behaviour is that it is much easier to narrow down searches, in order to re-use patterns later, for example in a replacement by :%s//<new_string>/g.

Sensitivity

Determine how many wildcard chars between input chars should be a match. 0 = off, input "fr" will match "f.*r", 2 will match "f...r", 1 "f._.r" and so on. Ex: g:fuzzysearch_sensitivity = 3 (default is 0)

Useful mappings

Replace in file using last search: nnoremap <leader>r :%s///g<left><left>
I find it very useful to create a fuzzy search quickly, then replace all instances using this mapping.

Options

g:fuzzysearch_prompt = 'fuzzy /'
g:fuzzysearch_hlsearch = 1
g:fuzzysearch_ignorecase = 1
g:fuzzysearch_max_history = 30
g:fuzzysearch_match_spaces = 0 g:fuzzysearch_sensitivity = 0
