Show HN: Frontend Fuzzy Search

I have spent several years working on search engines in the backend and have now utilized that experience to develop a fuzzy search library for the frontend. It's fast, accurate and can be used for all languages. It should be easy to integrate into your Javascript / Typescript projects. If you test it and find any edge cases that did not work for you please let me know.

The implementation is based on 3-grams by the book, augmented with a novel trick of sorting the characters within the 3-grams for enhanced accuracy. For a detailed explanation you may refer to my related blog post at https://www.m31coding.com/blog/fuzzy-search.html.

Happy Coding!
