Features

  • Fuzzy search — typo-tolerant matching powered by the Bitap algorithm
  • Token search — split multi-word queries into terms, fuzzy-match each, rank with IDF
  • Extended search — operators for exact, prefix, suffix, inverse, and include matching
  • Logical search — $and / $or expressions for structured queries
  • Weighted keys — boost fields like title over description
  • Nested search — dot notation, array notation, or custom getFn
  • Zero dependencies — works in the browser, Node.js, and Deno
  • Two builds — full (~8 kB gzip) or basic (~6.5 kB gzip)
