I need some script that will find and open files by given pattern within current directory and it’s subdirectories, kind of Snap Open for GEdit, fuzzyfinder for VIM and TextMate’s Open Files.
any ideas?

Not being familiar with any of the referenced libraries, I don’t know if this is an exact answer, but it sounds like ido-mode will do at least some of what you’re asking for, and it’s bundled with Emacs as of version 22. Ido changes the way the default Emacs find-file and find-buffer keybindings work, supplying lists of completions for the strings you type and using the Enter key to accept the current selection (which can be a directory, allowing you to browse the directory structure from the minibuffer). Check the Ido EmacsWiki page for details.
