I don't know flx. According to its github page flx is a "matching
engine", what in Emacs is a "completion style", I believe. Right? A
way to match a pattern to a universe/set of possible strings and to
return a (possibly propertized/annotated) subset of those strings.
If so, and if flx adheres to the completion-styles API, then it's very
easy to plug in. If it doesn't, maybe the author can find a way to
adapt it, just like Thierry did recently in Helm.
You can also try 'flex' and tell me what you think you are missing from
flx. I don't find flex "unbearably dumb" :-)
I like to type mispelled fragments of words I vaguely remember and it
almost always pops my intended thing to the top of the list. But it
doesn't autocorrect like google, for example, that's much harder. (does
flx?)
