uFuzzy VS sotdsite

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?

I had a feature request to for items to be presented in a different order. Done. What order? Your choice. I'm not ready to deploy the new feature to sotd.fun until further testing, but you can try it out on the test site, https://devsotd.nfshost.com. Details of how to specify the order are on the github wiki.

What personal data does the site collect? None. Prove it to yourself. Read the code. Or get it via your browser's 'view source'. I deliberately do not minimize the js, just so you can read it. Alternatively, use your browser's dev tools to look at the network traffic. You'll see GETs on page load and nothing after that.
