I use fuzzy search a lot and after switching to vscode I'm noticing that it's rare for the target file to appear in the top 3 results. It's almost always 10 or 15 results down. Sublime fuzzy search works well as does my setup in vim (using FZF).
Is there a point in having vscode re-invent the wheel and maintain it's own algorithm? Would it be possible to re-use other open source libraries such as FZF?
OSS FTW
