started to open an issue here but i noticed that it might be the wrong location as pet simply uses fzf. i opened an issue there but maybe it also can handled in pet

as my ticket at junegunn/fzf was closed, it would be awesome for solving it here even it is the wrong location but i am not sure if this is even possible.

I'm not familiar those algorithm neither maintainer of pet but imho, looks like we need to find some package (I hope it would be golang-based to make issue simpler) which execute levenshtein search algorithm.

As mentioned in Readme, there are already two available module fzf and peco. So I think it's not that hard to attach another one, if it exists.

If not, that must be totally different issue. Because that means that we should make new search algorithm implementation at all.

Hey @c33s , I think it would be nice to support customizable search algorithms! There's a lot of other issues we need to address first, but if you're interested in working on this you'd be more than welcome :) I can always help but personally need to prioritize other issues. Moving this to #ideas
