fd
A simple, fast and user-friendly alternative to 'find'
fd is a program to find entries in your filesytem. It is a simple, fast and user-friendly alternative to find. While it does not aim to support all of find's powerful functionality, it provides sensible (opinionated) defaults for a majority of use cases. First, to get an overview of all available command line options, you can either run fd -h for a concise help message or fd --help for a more detailed version. fd is designed to find entries in your filesystem. The most basic search you can perform is to run fd with a single argument: the search pattern. Instead of just showing the search results, you often want to do something with them. fd provides two ways to execute external commands for each of your search results: the -x/--exec option runs an external command for each of the search results (in parallel), or the -X/--exec-batch option launches the external command once, with all search results as arguments. -

Fuse.js
Lightweight fuzzy-search, in JavaScript
Fuse.js is a powerful, lightweight fuzzy-search library, with zero dependencies. 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). It might not make sense for every situation, but can be ideal depending on your search requirements. For example, qhen you want client-side fuzzy searching of small to moderately large data sets. Also, 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. You can access all options above via Fuse.config. This is useful if you want to override default options for all Fuse instances. Fuse.js supports logical query operators. These operators are used for filtering the data and getting precise results based on the given conditions. -
