Kbar and wildcard search?

[dariusz-wozniak]

I have a problem with the wildcard search:

Example (reproducible on [my blog]):

Main window:

Typing Autom yields a result [OK]:

While typing regi (as for register) does not yield any results [NOT OK]:

How can I make register to find the proper page?

Kbar uses fuse.js internally for the searching - https://github.com/timc1/kbar/blob/main/src/useMatches.tsx#L12-L29

Fuse.js does approximate string match. I noticed that the default settings don't work quite well for long strings. They get penalize by the location distance and Field-length Norm. You can try modifying one of the entries in fuse demo to use your blog's title - using "regi" as a search term ranks very low.

The best solution would be for kbar to improve their settings or expose an option to customize fuse.js parameters.
