One easy way to switch org-buffers is to use C-c b (org-iswitchb) in
conjunction with ido, which allows for fuzzy matching.

I have the following settings in my emacs file:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
  (ido-mode 1)

  (ido-everywhere 1)
  (setq ido-confirm-unique-completion t)
  (setq ido-enable-flex-matching t)

  ;; will use ffap-guesser to determine whether file name is at point
  (setq ido-use-filename-at-point 'guess)

  (setq org-completion-use-ido t)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Note that these settings also make ido the default interface for
switch-to-buffer and find-file.

Best,
Matt
