It does this by favouring matches on +consecutive letters and starts of words. This allows matching using acronyms or +different parts of the path. + +A gory comparison of the sorting used by fuzzy finders can be found in [ALGORITHM.md](ALGORITHM.md) + +fzy is designed to be used both as an editor plugin and on the command line. +Rather than clearing the screen, fzy displays its interface directly below the current cursor position, scrolling the screen if necessary. ## Installation
