NetBeans IDE 8.2 Dev (Build 201607090002) In Java, if the value used for "Go to Type" has multiple matches, where the entered value has a perfect match, and another much weaker match where substrings of the entered value match a larger name, then very often, the weaker match is focused, leading to incorrect selections. Example: Entered value: JdbcTeamTypeDao Perfect match: JdbcTeamTypeDao Weak match: JdbcTeamServiceTypeDao Focused, selected value: JdbcTeamServiceTypeDao List order: JdbcTeamServiceTypeDao, JdbcTeamTypeDao It appears that the current algorithm is the selection of the first member of an alphabetically orderd list which is often wrong.
Added a possibility to switch the ordering to "Similarity" (levenshtein distance from the entered text to found item). The ordering can be changed in the Tools/Options/Editor/Go To. The default is kept unchanged - alphabetical sort, you need to change the option. Fixed jet-main http://hg.netbeans.org/jet-main/rev/8f3a3358b27f
