      It would be great if Qt Creator had fuzzy search enabled inside the "Locate" tool. IMO this would serve as a very useful feature for many users.

      E.g. see Sublime Text for it's fuzzy search feature. There are some nuances which make this better than most other editors out there:

      1. Lots of good heuristics. e.g. typing "lthi" in ST shows me "layer_tree_host_impl.h/cc" (in the chromium codebase) as the top results instead of other files which have the string "lthi" in them.

      2. It adjusts the scores based on user history i.e. if you always select the second option on a search query, it will gradually become the first query.

      3. It's really fast.
