Option to filter by whole words (not fuzzy) about gum HOT 8 CLOSED

Hey @enrichman for sure you can open a PR!

Are you saying that it searches the entire string for those characters instead of a singular word?

from gum.

Yeah it will highlight each letter.

I just found this project but they use sahilm/fuzzy for the fuzzy searching so maybe the problem is with them. Again I just found this project so I could be wrong.

Agreed this would be useful. In my testing with gum filter I have say:

and I'd like to drill down to the MAPL ones. Unfortunately, when I try that I get pretty much everything still there since all it matches letters early on that don't "mean" as much:

Note that filtering on mapl or MAPL doesn't help.

It looks like @isacikgoz has made some improvements on the original fuzzy. Maybe he'd know if whole-word searching is possible?

Since I like this project and it's part of the Hacktoberfest I was trying to have a look at this.

I have a working POC, can I assign this to me and open a PR?

Thanks @maaslalani, I've found a couple of issues with my initial approach, but I've fixed them.
