Change defaults to ignoreLocation: true and ignoreFieldNorm: true

[ViktorQvarfordt]

Is there an existing issue or pull request for this?

• I have searched the existing issues and pull requests

Feature description

The default is ignoreLocation: false and ignoreFieldNorm: false, this causes basic searches to give very strange results.

Desired solution

Set the default options to ignoreLocation: true and ignoreFieldNorm: true.

Alternatives considered

Make it very clear early in the docs or in the demo that one might want to use these options. I was so close to giving up on this library until I found these options. I just plainly want to fuzzy-search for matches in my strings. I don't expect any location or string length to affect the search by default.

Additional context

ignoreFieldNorm: true

nice, this is one i missed in my comparison [1] that definitely improves Fuse's fuzzy results [2].
