A tiny and fast fuzzy string matching library for Go, inspired by bevacqua/fuzzysearch. It supports matching, ranking via Levenshtein distance, finding matches in word lists, and Unicode-normalized and case-insensitive matching.
Use cases
- fuzzy match a string against partial user input in Go
- filter a list of words by fuzzy query
- rank fuzzy matches by Levenshtein distance
- case-insensitive fuzzy string matching
- unicode-normalized fuzzy matching for accented text
- build autocomplete or quick-filter features
When to choose
- you need lightweight, dependency-free fuzzy matching in a Go program
- you want fast subsequence matching plus ranking for filtering lists
- you need Unicode normalization or case folding in matches
When to avoid
- you need full-text or relevance-scored search over large corpora (use a search engine like Bleve)
- you need edit-distance-only matching without subsequence semantics
- your project is not in Go
