In TextMate there is a feature called "Go to file" that is used for file navigation. It is a box where you type the name of a file in your project and it will use fuzzy matching to generate a list of candidates files from which you can select.

Other editors have this feature, but they each give it a different name:

Vim fuzzyfinder
Emacs fuzzy-find-in-project
TextMate Go to file (fuzzy)
Eclipse OpenResource (not fuzzy)
Eclipse GotoFile (fuzzy)
Komodo Go to File (not fuzzy)
Netbeans Go to file (not fuzzy)

Does jEdit, Geany, or Ultraedit have this feature?

Lucene Fuzzy Match on Phrase instead of Single Word

I'm trying to do a fuzzy match on the Phrase "Grand Prarie" (deliberately misspelled) using Apache Lucene.

By fuzzy matching I don't mean similar strings by Levenshtein distance or something similar, but the way it's used in TextMate/Ido/Icicles: given a list of strings, find those which include all characters in the search string, but possibly with other characters between, preferring the best fit. >>> More

I'm using the FuzzyFinder plugin for vim (specifically with gvim on Windows). It works great, except for one problem: it has many duplicate filenames. As far as I can tell, this happens because it's case sensitive to filenames, whereas Windows is not. So when I open a file from someplace that lists… >>> More
