Fuse.js

Generally speaking, fuzzy searching (more formally known as approximate string matching) is the technique of finding strings that are approximately equal to a given pattern (rather than exactly).

Why should I use it? With Fuse.js, you don’t need to setup a dedicated backend just to handle search. Simplicity and performance were the main criteria when developing this library.

When should I use It? It might not make sense for every situation, but can be ideal depending on your search requirements. For example:

• When you want client-side fuzzy searching of small to moderately large data sets.
• When you can't justify setting up a dedicated backend simply to handle search. ElasticSearch or Algolia, although both great services, may be overkill for your particular use cases.
