String::FuzzyMatch - match strings fuzzily

DESCRIPTION

This module fuzzily matches strings. All characters of the search string
("needle") must occur in sequence in the strings in the search list
("haystack"). So filtering by C<ab> will find C<a/b>, C<aaaab>
and C<cranberry>.

The searcher expects Unicode strings and matches using Unicode semantics.
The filter by default ignores diacritics and case in the haystack
and case in the needle, searching for C<abba> will also find C<ÄBBA>
by default.

This search approach is heavily inspired by the
filtering in L<fzf|https://junegunn.github.io/fzf/> but does not
implement any of the advanced query language.

This document describes version 0.01.
