Allow "fuzzy" substring symbol search, similar to Go To File (CTRL+P) and Completion

[sherryyshi]

Is it possible to support substring searching in Symbol Search, just like the way the search in Go to File (CTRL+P) works today?

[sean-mcmanus]

We already support substring search. Can you provide repro details where this is not working?

[sherryyshi]

For Go To File, you can type something like foobar and it would be able to find foo_baz_bar.cpp. However for Go To Symbol, that's not possible. Some of our users noted that the experience is inconsistent. They are big fans of the Go To File substring search, and would love to have the same feature for symbol search

@sean-mcmanus, @sherryyshi is asking for "fuzzy" search (as we refer to it) like we have for completion, etc.

Coming from Sublime, that would be a killer feature for me too.
