Ok what about when I have this

~/src/linux/linux

~/src/linux/stable

And I want to go to the first one? It doesn't have a unique sequence of keywords in it :/

Unless it recognises that if I type "z lin lin" I want the one where it appears twice?

I'm beginning to think my directory structure might just be toxic haha

You can think of it as replacing the space between words as wildcards, so `z lin lin` would indeed work to select the first one!

Some tools have a hard time solving some problems when the problem is us.

Here's an idea that might work for you. Rename ~/src/linux_/ or something like that.
lacy https://crates.io/crates/lacy might be what you want
