keyword should have minimal match weight? //just my ideas only

rank 1 should view in result list index 1,
not match should dismiss

Try interviewman instead of interview man

@bpasero is there a way that a contiguous match in the path can be made to outrank a non-contiguous match in the name (see second screenshot)?

But, interview man means I want fuzzy search with two keyword first interview & second man maybe [interview] [fireman], [woman], [manager] or another includes
Start match, End match, middle match, full match, partition match

The implementation is at https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/blob/master/src/vs/base/common/fuzzyScorer.ts

By entering interview man you are requiring both interview AND man to score > 0. In your latest screenshot see how the matches that you boxed with yellow qualify by containing the letters m, a and n somewhere in one of the components (path, name), even though those letters appear in a different sequence.

Currently not.
