Thank you for your library #46

Hi,

This is not an issue. I just want to thank you @farzher for your amazing library. I just released a search library for Ghost Blogging Platform called ghost-search and it's using fuzzysort as a search algorithm.

After a testing multiple libraries like lunr, fuse, and other search libraries, fuzzysort seems to be the one that does the job properly. When I started I was not expecting that finding a search library would be so hard. Boy I was wrong.

Thank you again and keep up the good work.

Totally agreed! I have also tested a bunch of other libraries and this really does its job really well. Thanks for your work on this.

I agree. I've been hacking on a local copy of https://github.com/minhanhhere/chrome-faster-bookmark (not my project; screenshots here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/faster-bookmark-add-bookm/fibadljlplamppipiebabkdehecpabce) which uses Fuse. I'm getting much better results with your library. Thanks so much!

Plus one, I switched from fuse.js to fuzzysort in command palette extension for chrome (https://github.com/dbuezas/chrome-palette) and the search results are a lot more intuitive 🎉

The only thing that is less good is that it is less of a stable search, meaning that the ordering of the input has less impact on the output.

In the extension I pre-sort commands by last used, and if the last one I used was Split horizontally, searching for Split still puts Split vertically first.

I assume the scoring function scores the latter higher because the match represents a higher percentage of the characters.

Anyway, great lib!
