Looking for class

I've just tried to use to spotter to get the code of the #class method. I typed 'class' and Spotter showed a lot of methods but the method I was looking for was not in the top. In the Emacs equivalent of Spotter (helm), closest and exact matches are shown first. I guess helm uses a notion of distance to order results. In helm, I could have typed "class$" to get only methods ending with "class".

Re: Looking for class

Again, as I said, we have a problem with finding a performant solution for order. If anyone would like to have a look, it would be useful.

Cheers,
Doru

Do you have a block of code to profile? I'm not sure I understand how to
setup a spotter.

What does one need other than exact matches come first followed by sorted inexact matches? Works very well with find class dialogs at least. As one types more the relevant results float to the top.
