## Quick start guide

```javascript

// This can be excluded when loaded via 

import FuzzySearch from 'fuzzy-search'; // Or: var FuzzySearch = require('fuzzy-search');

const people = [{

  name: {

    firstName: 'Jesse',

    lastName: 'Bowen',

  },

  state: 'Seattle',

}];

const searcher = new FuzzySearch(people, ['name.firstName', 'state'], {

  caseSensitive: true,

});

const result = searcher.search('ess');

```

## Documentation

```javascript

const searcher = new FuzzySearch(<haystack>, [keys], [options]);

const result = searcher.search(<needle>);

```

**haystack** *(type: `Array`)*

Array of objects containing the search list.

---

**[keys]** *(type: `Array`, default: `[]`)*

List of properties that will be searched. This also supports nested properties.

---

**[options]** *(type: `Object`)*

Object with options that will configure the search. Scroll/Swipe down to see more information on what options are available.

---

**\<needle\>** *(type: `String`, default: `''`)*

The string to Fuzzy Search on.

### Options

**caseSensitive** *(type: `Boolean`, default: `false`)*

Indicates whether comparisons should be case sensitive.

**sort** *(type: `Boolean`, default: `false`)*

When `true` it will sort the results by best match (when searching for `abc` in the search set `['a__b__c', 'abc']` it would return `abc` as the first result).

When `false` it will return the results in the original order.
