C-BetterSearch: More flexibility in searching for items - #5
Merged
Conversation
The Find command only returns results for search terms that have some characters matching with the task descriptions. The user experience can be enhanced with more flexibility in search, e.g. finding items even with typos in search terms. Let's thus add support for fuzzy search and strict search in the Find Command, along with a SearchMatcher class that computes similarities between strings using Levenshtein distance.
