Make search use a fuzzy distance metric #22

Closed RheingoldRiver closed 1 year ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. People make typos, and even worse, autocorrect exists. So, search should be fuzzy. For example, when I was testing #20 I noticed that Anarchy chess had no matches, and it really should match anarchychess.

Describe the solution you'd like Search should use a fuzzy distance metric rather than exact-matching.

Describe alternatives you've considered This could be gated behind a user preference.

Additional context In my discord bot, we use Jaro-Winkler and I think it's a lot better than Levenshtein. (although with autocorrect being a factor, I'm not so sure.)

Also, I don't think this is a very high priority. Every beta user should understand why this is not prioritized. But I do think it should be done before a general release.
