Hey Bart,

thanks for your response.

I am on zsh 5.3.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin16.6.0), as you can see this is on
Mac OS.

Should have said that all but last parts are matched correctly: I get it
expanded to: /Volumes/Media/Series/Fargo/Season\ 01/ with menu printed.

No matches found, when I remove _approximate from completer list.

(that's my format for warnings)

I tried /v/m/s/f/S3, still completes to Season\ 01.

But /v/m/s/f/S*3 and /v/m/s/f/*3 works fine so I assume _match is doing
its job properly.

Correct, /v/m/s/f/3 is the only string in buffer. I also tried with cd
command, with same results.

Reverted to my previous:

zstyle ':completion:*' matcher-list \
    '' \
    'm:{a-zA-Z}={A-Za-z}' \
    'r:|[._-]=* r:|=*' \
    'l:|=* r:|=*'

as I was getting some issues with the other one. Just letting you know
in case it actually changes anything.

Thanks,
