I have tried. It works similar like ivy, yet is not as polished, it is
slower on my side while ivy looks blazing fast. What is real speed I
do not know, I just say how it looks. Using two words did not give me
same result as in ivy. Additionally it depends on evil package which
is not in GNU ELPA. For now, raven is not my choice, I wish that
software depends only on GNU ELPA for now.

It looks that ivy is excellent choice.

Now just to find how to match all words in ivy regardless of their order.
