Xcode Quick Open fuzzy matching: slightly too fuzzy

Originator:jens.ayton

Product:Developer Tools Product Version:4.0.2
Classification:UI/Usability Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
While the fuzzy matching in the Quick Open panel is a Good Thing, it has a tendency to try to hard. For example, the string “al.h” matches “panel.h” before “OpenAL/al.h”.

Steps to Reproduce:
* Create a new project.
* Add OpenAL.framework.
* Quick Open and type “al.h”.

Expected Results:
* The file OpenAL/al.h should ideally be the first match, since the actual file name is an exact match.

Actual Results:
* The listed order is:
- asl.h
- signal.h
- panel.h
- OpenAL/al.h

Regression:
Not really.
