Search function returns incorrect output about memorize HOT 5 CLOSED

I think it could look similar to the one used in settings dialogs:

But with question - answer instead of label - path.

The search function is implemented here:

It currently checks whether there is each letter in the string in the right order, and hides a flashcard if this is not the case. So if I search for "hello", both "hello" and "hysterical elephants like loud oboes" will be visible while "world" won't.

In order to make this feature more useful, we could:

• Sort the results by a matching score. This would be confusing done the way searching currently works, so it would be better to create a separate search view similar to the ones in settings dialogs. Selecting a search result would close the search view and focus the flashcard in the edit view.
• Hide flashcards with a low score compared to the best results that technically match the search string as well.

I prefer the first option. What do you think, do you have another suggestion?

I think hiding results that might be relevant is indeed a bad idea, so my preference also goes to the first option. I can't really represent myself how this separate view would look like though…

That would be neat indeed!

I implemented the new search view and a new algorithm based on FuzzyFind in 1efab42.
