Search Results for "ideal"

...Generally speaking, fuzzy searching (more formally known as approximate string matching) is the technique of finding strings that are approximately equal to a given pattern (rather than exactly). It might not make sense for every situation, but can be ideal depending on your search requirements. For example, qhen you want client-side fuzzy searching of small to moderately large data sets.

...It implements a simplified fuzzy searching algorithm that does not use Levenshtein distance; instead it returns a boolean indicating whether all characters of the needle appear in sequence within the haystack. This makes it ideal for filtering lists or autocomplete suggestions quickly based on incomplete user input. Because it operates with a very small algorithmic footprint, it is both lightweight in size and extremely fast in practice. The library exposes a single, minimal API (fuzzysearch(needle, haystack)), making it easy to drop into any project without configuration. ...
