             Summary: Fuzzy search for Go To File/Symbol/Type
                 Key: NETBEANS-2156
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-2156
             Project: NetBeans
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: utilities - Jump To
    Affects Versions: Next
         Environment: Windows 10 - 64bit, NetBeans 10, JDK 10.0.2
            Reporter: Christian Lenz


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.
