matcher_fuzzy should prioritize file name matching

[dlee]

When using matcher_fuzzy and sorter_rank, I think all the most relevant results end up at the bottom of the list.

I tend to type in file names for searching, but unite.vim prioritizes matches where the directories match the names instead of the files.

Is there a way to reverse this?

My .vimrc has these lines:

call unite#filters#matcher_default#use(['matcher_fuzzy'])
call unite#custom#source('file_mru', 'matchers', ['matcher_project_files', 'matcher_fuzzy'])

You must use sorter_rank.

My .vimrc has these lines:

Where is sorter_rank?

Plese show me the minimal .vimrc and the reproduceable ways from Vim starting. I cannot reproduce it.

Oops, I have this line as well:

call unite#custom#source('buffer,file,file_mru,file_rec,file_rec/async', 'sorters', 'sorter_rank')

A common use case is when I have the following files among hundreds:

• hello_there/hi.vim
• hello_there.js
• hello_there.vim

Typing he reduces the file list to the above three, but in this order:

• hello_there.js
• hello_there.vim
• hello_there/hi.vim

My goal is to get to hello_there.vim, so I continue the matching by typing v to differentiate between hello_there.js and hello_there.vim.

However, now the list has changed so that the he portion matches the directory name with higher priority:

• hello_there/hi.vim
• hello_there.vim

The only way I can get hello_there.vim to come on top is by typing out the whole name. Instead, I would like hev to prioritize hello_there.vim over hello_there/hi.vim.

OK. But I don't want to change it. Pull request is well come.

You can change sorter_rank code. I have not much time.
