## What it is
A fast, tiny, zero-dependency JavaScript library for SublimeText-like fuzzy search and ranking of strings and objects. It supports single and multi-key searching, highlighting matched indexes, and immutable snapshots for high performance.

## Use cases
- fuzzy filter a list of files as the user types
- build an autocomplete or typeahead dropdown
- search command palettes like Sublime Text or VS Code
- rank and highlight matching substrings in search results
- fuzzy search across multiple object properties
- filter thousands of items in under a millisecond

## When to choose
- you need fast client-side fuzzy matching in JavaScript with no dependencies
- you want SublimeText-style ranking and match highlighting
- you need to search objects by one or more keys with custom scoring

## When to avoid
- you need full-text or natural language search with tokenization and relevance across large corpora
- you need a backend search engine or index persistence
- you need typo tolerance or semantic search

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: search-engine, parser
- domain: developer-tools, web-development, frontend
- platform: browser, cross-platform
- tags: fuzzy-search, fuzzy-matching, autocomplete, typeahead, sublime-text, zero-dependencies, ranking, search, nodejs
