In the attached screenshots you can see I have searched for "vega", and get two results, one of which (cdk) makes no sense.

Then, when I add an "s" to change "vega" to "vegas" I somehow get more results, most of which don't make any sense, but one (homemovies-glacier - S3 bucket) that should've appeared in the "vega" results too.

Apart from not understanding why there are unexpected results, I also would like it if the "most matching" result is highlighted/selected by default. i.e. "Untitled - VEGAS Pro 19.0" in this example.

Thanks again for great utility. I hope this helps make it even better.

PS: You might want to make the source code available, then others could help you work on it.

    Yes, it seems there are some issues in fuzzy string matching algo. What is the fuzzy string matching percent you have set?
    I'll work on highlighting the matched text.
    Yes, will make it opensource.
    Thank you so much.

    It was FuzzyMatchPercent=60 (the default), but I've since changed it to 80 (to pick a number at random) and I like the results more.
