"Open symbol by name" not fuzzy matching #309

If I have a project in my tasks for example:

Taxes 2021:
    [ ] export data
    [ ] aggregate data

and search by symbol Ctrl + R, I can find the project within my tasks only if I write the search in order (for instance tax 21 will locate the project, but 21 tax will not)

Implementing fuzzy search for project names (symbol names) for Todo+ would be immensely useful as this is the method used in Plaintasks for Sublimetext (which is the spiritual successor for Todo+ as I understand it).

Furthermore, it seems the fuzzy search behavior needs to be resolved at the extension level:
microsoft/vscode#33746
microsoft/python-language-server#697

Unfortunately that's a stupid decision on vscode's end, it doesn't make sense to reimplement fuzzy searching for each extension, complain with them about it.
