I'm new to emacs and started loving it.

Well, I work on NodeJs and other java script stuff. I tried flx-ido for fuzzy search but it's not searching in sub directories. Is there any fuzzy search plugin available in emacs that's similar to sublime fuzzy search.

I don't have any specific project meta data hence i don't want to use projectile or helm etc.., Any will be greatly appreciated.

  • "I don't have any specific project meta data hence i don't want to use projectile or…" Do you use version control? Even the presence of a `.git/` or `.hg/` directory is enough metadata for something like projectile to work. – ChrisGPT was on strike Aug 04 '15 at 02:54

Dunno what Sublime fuzzy search is like, but with Icicles you can use several kinds of fuzzy search over a directory hierarchy, i.e., through subdirs.

You can use the different fuzzy matching methods with any Icicles commands, including the file-searching commands.

The relevant Icicles doc is this:

For example, you can use command icicle-locate-file to search a under a directory for files whose names or contents match a search pattern, which can be a regexp or make use of fuzzy matching.
