According to its github page flx is a "matching engine", what in Emacs is a "completion style", I believe. Right? A way to match a pattern to a universe/set of possible strings and to return a (possibly propertized/annotated) subset of those strings. If so, and if flx adheres to the completion-styles API, then it's very easy to plug in. If it doesn't, maybe the author can find a way to adapt it, just like Thierry did recently in Helm. You can also try 'flex' and tell me what you think you are missing from flx. I don't find flex "unbearably dumb" :-) I like to type mispelled fragments of words I vaguely remember and it almost always pops my intended thing to the top of the list. But it doesn't autocorrect like google, for example, that's much harder. (does flx?) Jo=C3=A3o
