uFuzzy VS list.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.

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?

Would love to create a filterable list using https://listjs.com/ on Wordress. I mainly build portfolio sites and so Semplice has become my friend. Sure it'll be a similar story for people not using Semplice though, so if anyone has any advice on how to use the above List.js on Wordpress, I'm all ears!

Have you considered doing some sort of live search/sort/filter? That would be far more helpful for people trying to find a specific piece of content. You can do this pretty easily with a little js, or using a drop-in plugin like list.js.

List.js is perfect for this kind of thing.

Hey, List js should help you achieve this https://listjs.com/

But I have only slight understanding of JavaScript (I'm designer not programmer), this code I'm talking about was copypasted from some List.js plugin Github thread that happen to be jQuery and I slightly modified it with trial and error.

Do you have fewer than 5000 items? If so, it's probably easiest to get the whole list and use js to search/filter. List.js is a nice little plugin that gives you some filtering, sorting and live-search.

You can access public google sheets as json. Then just put it into whatever templating system you want. This little plugin will let you sort/filter/search your data either in table or list form.
