uFuzzy VS elasticlunr.js

Thank you. We need more libs like that. I just researched the field yesterday and https://github.com/leeoniya/uFuzzy looked pretty good. But there is a gap in the market of such libs. Just few allow to send the whole html document, serialize and deserialize index to be used in browser, highlighting the matches is desired feature.

Most importantly very few fuzzy search libs can get a simple substring match as a priority, which is understandable but not helpful. Imagine searching for “xample” and not having “example” among the results.

interesting, i made something much more stupid but brutally effective: https://github.com/leeoniya/uFuzzy

i guess if you wanted to do sorting by contact frequency you can just keep the original haystack sorted by frequency, and get Richard match first.

allow me to self-promote https://github.com/leeoniya/uFuzzy

Keep the tech simple and minimal. Just the basics: javascript, css, HTML. No react or other frameworks. No tech for tech's sake. I did use one very excellent search library uFuzzy.

maybe habit, maybe less devDependencies, maybe wanting to hand-author a readable/commented form of https://github.com/leeoniya/uFuzzy/blob/main/dist/uFuzzy.d.ts?

When i did my static site search function some time ago, I used Elasticlunr. I was able to pregenerate the index file as a big json file that is loaded at the client.

If your content is mostly static, you might want to consider pre-building an index and shipping it as a whole. You could look into something like

* https://stork-search.net/ (Rust/WASM)

* tinysearch: https://github.com/tinysearch/tinysearch (Rust/WASM)

* https://lunrjs.com/ (JS, simple, stable)

* http://elasticlunr.com/ - based on the former, slightly more sophisticated tuning options

Very nice! Seems to perform very well. I'm curious, have you compared Fuse with other search engines? Like flex search or elasticlunr? Why did you choose fuse ?

Check out elasticlunr

There's also Elasticlunr which is based off of lunr.js and is what mdBook uses

http://elasticlunr.com/

Does this relate to http://elasticlunr.com/? mdBook uses the latter, and I was wondering how I can parse/read its indexes from Python so I can provide my own search from them.

Same as above, for most blogs something like http://elasticlunr.com/ can get the job done really well.

3. HotSwap on the fly themes

Doctave comes with offline search built in. We use the elasticlunr-rs crate to generate a search index that is compatible with the elasticlunr.js library. You can see it in action by going to our docs (built with the CLI, naturally) and hitting the letter s on your keyboard to focus on the search bar. The searching happens entirely client-side.
