Improve discoverability of SymSpell #97

Closed NickStrupat closed 4 years ago

NickStrupat commented 4 years ago

I believe SymSpell is not being discovered by many who are searching for fuzzy search solutions. I, for one, worked on a fuzzy matching system for a couple years and never came across SymSpell. Now that I've known about it for a year or so, I still have trouble finding it when I forget the name.

For example,

https://github.com/search?l=C%23&o=desc&q=fuzzy+search&s=stars&type=Repositories

doesn't return SymSpell. I believe it's because GitHub only searches the repo name and the 'about' field, the latter of which does not include any permutation of fuzzy nor search.

Love the project, just want it to be discoverable by more who are looking!

Thank you for letting me know. I have added "fuzzy search" to the about field.

Excellent! I see it now at the top of the list when I use that search query (also sorted by "Best Match").
