telescope-fzy-native.nvim VS telescope-fzf-native.nvim

I recommend the fzy native extension for telescope. https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope-fzy-native.nvim it’s still not quite as fast as the old fzf solution but I don’t notice it unless I’m working on some huge legacy codebase.

This plugin provides precompiled libzf libraries packaged into a sorter for Telescope, similar to telescope-fzf-native.nvim and telescope-fzy-native.nvim. This gives the speed improvement of native code, and the benefits of the zf algorithm inside telescope for all pickers.

fzy-lua-native similary doesn't use fzy, it's a matcher based on the algorithm that fzy uses. This is actually the same matcher used under the hood in telescope-fzy-native.

Are you using the fzy-native extension?

Is it faster than telescope-fzy-native (fzY)? Does it provide better results?

I want to give a little update on the speed problem, since this is coming up more or less on every Telescope thread. Having bugged the developers opening regular GitHub issues, it seems that you can get a consistent jump on search speed by using the native sorter

- the scoring may be done with telescope-fzf-native, but it is then sorted in lua.

Looking at https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope-fzf-native.nvim/blob/main/Makefile this actually makes the lib, as there's a target=libfzf in there. Doesn't seem to have a requirement on fzf.

Based on the accounts of many here, it seems that fzf-lua is faster than Telescope. Are we talking about the default sorter in Telescope or also the fzf sorter also?

local telescope = require("telescope") local trouble_provider = require("trouble.providers.telescope") telescope.setup({ live_grep = { --@usage don't include the filename in the search results only_sort_text = true, theme = "dropdown", }, extensions = { fzf = { fuzzy = true, -- false will only do exact matching override_generic_sorter = true, -- override the generic sorter override_file_sorter = true, -- override the file sorter case_mode = "smart_case", -- or "ignore_case" or "respect_case" }, }, defaults = { vimgrep_arguments = { 'rg', '--color=never', '--no-heading', '--with-filename', '--line-number', '--column', '--hidden', '--smart-case', '--glob "!.git"', }, mappings = { i = { -- source: https://github.com/folke/trouble.nvim [""] = trouble_provider.open_with_trouble, }, n = { -- source: https://github.com/folke/trouble.nvim [""] = trouble_provider.open_with_trouble, }, }, set_env = { ["COLORTERM"] = "truecolor" }, -- default = nil, }, }) -- source: https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope-fzf-native.nvim require("telescope").load_extension("fzf")

This might help: telescope-fzf-native

It's not fuzzy during the live_grep itself, but by hitting `` you can fuzzy search among the results shown. You can even use the fzf syntax with https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope-fzf-native.nvim/issues.

Are you using telescope-fzf-native.nvim?

I'm trying to install telescope-fzf-native.nvim following the instructions in its page. I've added to my init.lua the following line of code:
