# Fuzzy Search
Inspired by [bevacqua/fuzzysearch][1], a fuzzy matching library written in
JavaScript. But contains some extras like ranking using [Levenshtein
distance][2] and finding matches in a list of words.
Fuzzy searching allows for flexibly matching a string with partial input,
useful for filtering data very quickly based on lightweight user input.
The current implementation uses the algorithm suggested by Mr. Aleph, a russian
compiler engineer working at V8.
## Install
```
go get github.com/lithammer/fuzzysearch/fuzzy
```
## Usage
```go
package main
import "github.com/lithammer/fuzzysearch/fuzzy"
func main() {
fuzzy.Match("twl", "cartwheel") // true
fuzzy.Match("cart", "cartwheel") // true
fuzzy.Match("cw", "cartwheel") // true
fuzzy.Match("ee", "cartwheel") // true
fuzzy.Match("art", "cartwheel") // true
fuzzy.Match("eeel", "cartwheel") // false
fuzzy.Match("dog", "cartwheel") // false
fuzzy.Match("kitten", "sitting") // false
fuzzy.RankMatch("kitten", "sitting") // -1
fuzzy.RankMatch("cart", "cartwheel") // 5
words := []string{"cartwheel", "foobar", "wheel", "baz"}
fuzzy.Find("whl", words) // [cartwheel wheel]
fuzzy.RankFind("whl", words) // [{whl cartwheel 6 0} {whl wheel 2 2}]
// Unicode normalized matching.
fuzzy.MatchNormalized("cartwheel", "cartwhéél") // true
// Case insensitive matching.
fuzzy.MatchFold("ArTeeL", "cartwheel") // true
}
```
You can sort the result of a `fuzzy.RankFind()` call using the [`sort`][3]
package in the standard library:
```go
matches := fuzzy.RankFind("whl", words) // [{whl cartwheel 6 0} {whl wheel 2 2}]
sort.Sort(matches) // [{whl wheel 2 2} {whl cartwheel 6 0}]
```
See the [`fuzzy`][4] package documentation for more examples.
