I think that depends on `completion-styles'.

This package is not at all concerned with how the input is used to determine the possible completions. That's the job of the `completion-styles'. What you describe sounds like a request for a style similar to `partial-completion' or `substring' where the indiviual words can occur in any order. Bye, Tassilo
