uFuzzy VS shave_products

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?

Basically providing me with a long list of fragrances, one frag per line. Something analogous to the lists I am using for lather, razor, etc. which can be seen here.

Non-goals: To be data complete. I found enough product data to run a demo, cutting corners to grab what I could. The data can be seen on github. It's a hot mess, as hurriedly gathered data tends to be. But I have 800+ lathers, enough to realistically test search performance.
