fnf is a fast, simple fuzzy finder with an advanced scoring algorithm.
Born as a fork of fzy (originaly intended to make fzy work with the clifm file manager), it adds a few new features to the original fzy, including basic color support and multi-selection. Consult the manpage for more information.

Use with clifm
Just run clifm as follows:
clifm --fzytabfzy attempts to present the best matches first. The following considerations are weighted when sorting:
It prefers consecutive characters: file will match file over filter.
It prefers matching the beginning of words: amp is likely to match app/models/posts.rb.
It prefers shorter matches: abce matches abcdef over abc de.
It prefers shorter candidates: test matches tests over testing.
