fuzzy searching problem

[Jackie-Yang]

• VSCode Version: Code 1.17.1 (1e9d365, 2017-10-10T14:24:50.851Z)
• OS Version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.15063
• Extensions:

Extension	Author (truncated)	Version
cpptools	ms-	0.13.1
sublime-keybindings	ms-	2.9.1

---

Steps to Reproduce:

If I want to fuzzy search "File.cpp" under "ABC" folder (using Ctrl + P)， input "ABC File.cpp",
The search results might be:
"Axx\xxBxx\xxC\xxxxx\File.cpp"

The search results are inaccurate， most importantly， I didn't get the results I needed.
The searching performance of sublime text is still better than vscode.

Reproduces without extensions: Yes/No

It's hard to know what you mean in that case if there are other fuzzy matches, but if you use abc/file.cpp, then it should only show the result under a folder 'abc'.

Assigning @bpasero if you want to tweak it or follow up

@roblourens
for example:
Target path: xxx/xxx/abc/xxx/xxx/file.cpp
Input: abc file.cpp
result: axxx/bxxx/cxxx
VScode:

Sublime:

@Jackie-Yang did a little bit of tweaks here for our 1.18 insider build, can you grab it and see if your examples work any better? You can give our preview releases a try from: https://code.visualstudio.com/insiders/

@Jackie-Yang also in your screenshot where you compare VS Code with Sublime I see different folders for the top results, are those not showing up for VS Code after all? I mean the ones within projects/ui/tcl/...

[Jackie-Yang]

@bpasero Yes, so I said I didn't get the results I needed.
The results of VScode did not include "tcl" folder.

@Jackie-Yang not at all or just showing up later? Is this workspace open source so that I could have a look?

[Jackie-Yang]

@bpasero
Sorry~This code is not open source
But I try it again, and it show correctly, maybe the index build error?
And I want to know is it the index rebuilt sometimes? Sometimes the result show quickly, and sometimes it need to load.
Can vscode show index progress like sublime?

[Jackie-Yang]

@bpasero But this problem still exist, it still show wrong result when I search some file.
My workspace is to big, so I try to input the whole path of the file, and it need to load for a long time, so I think vscode did not index all the file at that time.
