[feature] prioritize word order #167

Open ideasman42 opened 3 months ago

ideasman42 commented 3 months ago

When searching for items I typically type the first letters of the name.

Say I have these menu items (among others).

If I open the menu and type "po" and press enter, I'm used to having it sync my podcasts (with wofi). yofi selects system-power-down instead.

I think it's reasonable to have the position in the word prioritize the item - or at least support this as an option if some users prefer.

I think it's basically the #126 though something more user-friendly than tuning random numbers would be really nice.

@l4l configurable searching may resolve, feel free to close this if you think #126 will resolve this issue.

Personally I'd be happy (prefer even) non fuzzy matching. at least the option for it, or, to prioritize the non-fuzzy match at least.
