Research direction

Start by locating the ui.scripting.fuzzySearch setting and the Python Console's tab-completion handling. Compare the current fuzzy-search behavior with the previous behavior, then clarify whether the intended result is disabling the setting by default or matching familiar editor completion; done means tab completion is convenient and predictable.

Bug Description:
The new fuzzy search makes tab completion inconvenient compared with the previous behavior. We should probably disable ui.scripting.fuzzySearch by default, or fix the tab completion handling to match that of other familiar editors.
