## Usage
Below is the type definition of the exported functions. For any issues or questions, just create an issue and I'll respond asap.

```typescript
export declare type MatchResult = {
offset: number;
positions: number[];
extraChars: number;
trailingChars: number;
};

/**
* Try to find a given query in a given target in a "fuzzy" manner.
*
* @param query the string you search with
* @param target the string you search in
* @param characterLimit maximum amount of characters in result. Example: { " ": 6, ".": 0 } means a sentence with a maximum of 6 spaces.
*/
export declare function matchFuzzy(query: string, target: string, characterLimit?: {
[character: string]: number;
}): MatchResult | null;

/**
* Array sort function in order: extra chars, offset, trailing chars.
*
* @param a result a
* @param b result b
*/
export declare function sort(a: MatchResult, b: MatchResult): 1 | -1 | 0;
