Cannot disable fuzzy matching

[zalky]

Expected behavior

I'm trying to disable fuzzy matching, since it results in far too many candidates in medium to large projects. I've attempted to do so by both customizing helm-projectile-fuzzy-match, and also trying to setq it, but neither seems to have an affect.

Actual behavior

I'm not actually sure if this is even fuzzy matching, or maybe just a bug or misconfiguration: it appears to just be matching an arbitrary number of characters between the characters of the query. So if my query is term, it is seems to be matching .*t.*e.*r.*m.*, which is not a kind of fuzzy matching I'm familiar with. In any cases, it produces too many results which are not useful. Here is helm-projectile-find-file:

I did this by using the :custom keyword in use-package, like this;
(use-package helm-projectile :ensure t :after (helm projectile) :custom (helm-projectile-fuzzy-match nil) :config (helm-projectile-on))
