Hi

 From the MD user point of view.

I would expect the same filters.
However, I would consider changing order in navigate to dialog,
f.e. putting project/solution classes higher.

I prefer the "subword prefix" matcher. It actually does the job, while
the first algorithm gives way too many results. I really don't need
'string' from 'n', or even 'Stream' from 'strm'. If a matcher suggests
these I would consider this as a bug...
The speed is really not the most important issue here.

About the Autotools/AutoTools:
My view is that Autotools class has simply a wrong name.
If I would want to find this class, maybe there should be some "search 
for a class" with substring matching as in 1st algorithm.

Glad to hear that :)
