This is an intriquing idea.. but it's not at all obvious behavior. I wonder
if it would be better if the results were somehow split into two sets..
absolute matches and "kinda" matches.
That is, all matches that would happen in a traditional search would show up
first. The matches that were a bit fuzzy (like 'kfin' matching
'kfind.cpp') would show up in some other way. Maybe a splitview or
slightly greyed out or something. Or maybe the traditional matches could
be bold.
Just some ideas.
