=== :FuzzySearch
Acts just like normal buffer searching, except with fuzzy matching between each letter. +
Space matches a series of any characters(translates to .\{-})
== Matching
By default, fuzzysearch doesn't match over spaces. That means that "fr" will NOT match "foo bar", but "f r" will.
If you dislike this behaviour, set g:fuzzysearch_match_spaces = 1.
The reasoning behind the default behaviour is that it is much easier to narrow down searches, in order to re-use patterns later, for example in a replacement by :%s//<new_string>/g.
=== Useful mappings
Replace in file using last search: nnoremap <leader>r :%s///g<left><left> +
I find it very useful to create a fuzzy search quickly, then replace all instances using this mapping.
=== Options
g:fuzzysearch_prompt = 'fuzzy /' +
g:fuzzysearch_hlsearch = 1 +
g:fuzzysearch_ignorecase = 1 +
g:fuzzysearch_max_history = 30 +
g:fuzzysearch_match_spaces = 0
