Helm always uses regexp matching which is more powerful/exact but probably less convenient than fuzzy matching. But there seems to be a customization option to influence matching a bit. You may want to fiddle around with that. ,----[ C-h v helm-mp-matching-method RET ] | helm-mp-matching-method is a variable defined in `helm-match-plugin.el'. | Its value is multi3 | | Documentation: | Matching method for helm match plugin. | You can set here different methods to match candidates in helm. | Here are the possible value of this symbol and their meaning: | - multi1: Respect order, prefix of pattern must match. | - multi2: Same but with partial match. | - multi3: The best, multiple regexp match, allow negation. | - multi3p: Same but prefix must match. | Default is multi3. | | You can customize this variable. `---- Bye, Tassilo
