Ordering of search tokens in file finder fuzzy match #14428

Describe the feature

Firstly, zed looks, feels, and works great! Thank you. I've been playing with it it since the Linux release and stumbled upon this muscle-memory quality-of-life enhancement.

Universally, fuzzy search in file finder widgets across editors are agnostic of the ordering of search tokens. For instance, the search inputs internal auth and auth internal should fuzzy-match the path /internal/auth. However, in the current version of zed (v0.143.7), the search is not ordering agnostic. In the above example, only internal auth produces a hit. Screenshots below.

This! Often times, I look for a particular file, type the name of it, see that the search query is not specific enough so I add a parent folder name to the query. But in Zed that does not work, I have to type the folder name before the file name.

I would also like to add that already opened files should be preferred to other files. I might have a project with a dozen files named utils.c. Whenever I want to quickly switch to the particular utils.c I'm already editing, I either have to manually go through this list, or always remember to type the right prefix as well.

Alternatively, maybe we could get a "buffer search" command which only completes against already opened buffers.
