@breaady so okay so. i don’t fully know about fuzzy search. i don’t know much about search functions in general. but what i do know is that generally search can be narrowed or broader by defining what it is actually searching for based on the input, and i assume fuzzy search is basically just broader search

i will still research this for myself, but also i wouldn’t mind you explaining for me because it’s cute when you explain things

@shroomie oh its pretty simple, essentially it allows there to be extra characters “in between” your typed ones. for example, if i was looking for a “minecraft:diamondsword”, i would probably end up typing “diamond_sw” before regular search could tell the difference between sword and shovel. but fuzzy search could do it with “diasw” because it would jump over the “mond“ bit in the middle.
