How do I search for multiple results?

[ChrisMGeo]

I have an array of character names called characterList, which I want to search from. I sometimes have strings with multiple of these character names, and would like to return every single search result and their indices.

import Fuse from "fuse.js";
const options = {};
const characterList = ["John", "Chris", "Sarah", "Jun"];
const characterFuse = new Fuse(characterList, options);
console.log(characterFuse.search("John met Chris and Sarah at the park."));

How would I return John, Chris and Sarah with their approximate indices, and not just one or none of them?

I am unsure what you're trying to do here but if you use it the other way seems more logical, having your characterList search in the text. Also tokenise the string to create an array out of your string first.

so your input text should look like this

const inputArray = ["John" ,"met" ,"Chris" ,"and" ,"Sarah" ,"at" ,"the" ,"park."]

include this in the options useExtendedSearch:true

and the character list to be constructed with = in front of every single character as you'd like to make an exact search.

See the below code that worked for me:

const options = {useExtendedSearch: true};
const characterList = ["=John", "=Chris", "=Sarah", "=Jun"];
const query = characterList.join("|")
const inputArray = ["John" ,"met" ,"Chris" ,"and" ,"Sarah" ,"at" ,"the" ,"park."]
const fuse = new Fuse(inputArray, options);
const result = fuse.search(query);
console.log((result));

results:

[{"item":"John","refIndex":0},
{"item":"Chris","refIndex":2},
{"item":"Sarah","refIndex":4}]

For more info look at the extended search of their documentation : https://fusejs.io/examples.html#extended-search
