anything.el does not change or interfere with the normal completion
system.  IMHO this is a good thing: it has allowed anything.el to
experiment freely and has made it a simple unobtrusive add-on.

How about

"anything.el: easy find/select/operate on files/fonts/anything interface.

A live-search (similar to Quicksilver and Gnome Do) alternative to
standard completion mechanisms you can try by exploring the anything-*
commands.  Does not change or interfere with standard completion and
requires no customizations out of the box."
