Could you expand on this (haha!)? This is not fuzzy find. If you start typing again omnifunc will disappear. It also takes several seconds to populate. If you work on any decent size project this option does not scale as far as I can tell.

It depends on what you're searching for. For files I'm unsure of, I'll press tab and let fuzzy finder do the work.

// Not very sure of file name but knowing the extension
:e **/MyUnsureFi*.vue

// Knowing which directory
:e app/controllers/**/my_controll

If you scope down the directory, search will be faster. No plugins required. Asterisk only when necessary, scope down when you know the directory. Fast enough for me at least.
