Do file name search more like VSCode #53

In VSCode I can type "cloud policy client cc" to find the file "cloud_policy_client.cc". This is very convenient since typing spaces is easier than typing underscores. VSCode's search seems to be pretty smart about how it maps space-separated words in the search query to file names. For example, the order of the words matters: typing "cloud client policy cc" will not find the file "cloud_policy_client.cc".

If this is difficult to emulate, would it be possible to extend the file search algorithm so that space is a synonym for underscore and period?

This topic does not seem to cover character replacements though.

My bad, my earlier description should have been clearer. When I said "type" I meant after pressing Ctrl+P which is the "Go to File..." or "Quick Open" command. I can't seem to find docs though.
