Description
Hey everyone, I have updated my fuzzy search library for the frontend. It now supports substring and prefix search, on top of fuzzy matching. It's fast, accurate, multilingual and has zero dependencies.GitHub: https://github.com/m31coding/fuzzy-search Live demo: https://www.m31coding.com/fuzzy-search-demo.htmlI would love to hear your feedback and any suggestions you may have for improving the library.Happy coding!
