I have seen fuzzy search work in a few cases, but they are sparse. Most notably, I never remember what the name of Windows' built-in screenshot application is. It's "Snipping Tool". I often mis-remember it as "Clipping Tool". But anyway, it comes up when I type "screenshot", "clip", or "clipping" into the search bar.

Here's the crazy thing: Type out "clipping tool" and watch. It matches all the way to "clipping t". Then it stops matching, then matches again at "clipping tool". So even if you know a phrase which it matches on, you might or might not get a patch from an exact partial of that matching phrase.

  Nope, for me the exact process works as intended, there's no difference between "clipping t" and "clipping to" and "clipping too".

  For me it matches perfectly for each letter. Maybe you're on an older build?

I just installed Greenshot [0] and never really thought about about the internal one. It comes with it's own mini image editor to quickly add annotations and a very nice zoom feature to catch the screenshot correctly first time without having to re-crop. Greenshot is the one Windows tool I really missed on Linux. [0]: http://getgreenshot.org/ http://getgreenshot.org/
