ffind lets you search with fuzzy-matching for files in the subfolders of the current folder.
The below example shows how a fuzzy search might look when searching for "toolconf" at the root of a galaxy folder. As you can see, not only results containing the full term "toolconf" are found, but also the ones that contain some parts of the search term (in this case "tool" and "conf".
It is inspired by the fuzzy matching of file names available in the sublime text editor, and is intended to act as a "poorman's" fuzzy search, to be used with Geany, for example, as demonstrated in the screenshow below:
Hopefully you find this useful somehow!
