Orderless with a single component

Configuration

(setq completion-styles '(orderless))

  • a custom orderless-component-separator function that splits on unescaped +, -, and space
  • the built-in Emacs 29 completion framework

Reproduction steps

  1. C-h f
  2. warning TAB

Actual results

I see the following 3 completions:

  • warning-numeric-level
  • warning-suppress-p
  • warnings-suppress

Expected results

I would like to also see all completions that contain the warning component, such as display-warning.

Important notes

When I enter warning+ instead of warning, I do see all candidates that contain the warning component (per the expected results), but I often forget to type that + at the end. I also tried to mix orderless with substring, but it did not help.

Any ideas?

My first instinct is that it doesn't sound like orderless is doing the matching here, but some other completion style is getting first crack instead. What values of completion-category-defaults and completion-category-overrides are you using?

I set both variables to nil and ... magic! ... everything works as expected. Thank you for taking the time to help me, @oantolin! I will study the documentation to find the best values for the variables.
