I'm not sure if fuzzy is the correct way to phrase this, so allow me to explain what I want to do.

Often times, I'm looking for files that I know are within a particular directory in my local SVN working copy, and I have an idea what directory they're in, but don't want to think of the precise path or there may be several copies of it in different branches. For example, suppose I want a file "eligibility.py" that I know is somewhere under a "trunk" directory and in a directory named "interface" below that.

It would be ideal if I could just type in something like this at the anything-for-files prompt:

trunk interface eligibility.py

Is there any way I can do something similar to this?

I like using file-cache and ido-find-file: http://sachachua.com/wp/2009/01/06/emacs-file-cache-and-ido/

I figured it out. This functionality is included with anything-match-plugin.el.
