What new features should Fuse.js have?

[krisk]

Hey all! Fuse.js has been out for many years, and - dare I say - seems to be the most widely used JS fuzzy search library 😄. For the next iteration of the library, I'd love to know your ideas. What are some things you'd love Fuse.js to handle? Thanks! We can upvote/comment on anything that stands out.

Not sure if this is supported already - don’t think so - but I have a use case where the ability to do incremental indexing would useful. The source files are not all available at a single point in time. Alternatively, the option to merge indexes would work (and actually could be helpful in addition).

The use case is a next.js site using static site generation from a mix of local markdown files and other blog posts pulled from a CMS. I’d like to generate a single persisted JSON index file at build time, then run search against it either server side or even client side (TBD).

Great library - thank you!

Right now you could so by using fuse.add, though I admit the need for looping 😄

Thanks for the great library.
If possible, I would like to adjust the keys options etc. when I execute a search query.

Filtering nested object results.

A simple example is only including the properties which are searched. Another example is removing any subarray elements that do not contain any matches, see also #690.

Hello!

Two features I would want for this library:

1. The possibility to do the equivalent of fuse.search(searchTerm) inside an $and. Maybe something like this:

fuse.search({
  $and: [
    {
      $val: searchTerm,
    },
  ],
})

2. Searching in ranges. I would want to be able to get results where year is between 2020 and 2022 for example

Regarding 2., why don’t you just filter the results?

Adding this to the engine itself would only help performance, but probably not worth the effort for Fuse’s constrained use cases.

Hi,

1. Would like to see the Proximity Search in the library as a built in
2. API for extensibility with the plugins
