Search query and target string

Post by wunsch2 »

How could the algorithm and/or the implementation be improved to handle situations where the search query and target strings have significant differences, such as transposed characters, missing letters, or non-consecutive letter pairs?

"// Array of search targets
const searchTargets = [
"Hello World",
"Fuzzy Matching",
"JavaScript Algorithms",
"Data Structures",
"Software Engineering"
];

// Search query
const searchQuery = "Jvscript Algrthms";

// Function to score the "fuzzywhole" match
function fuzzywhole(iFlg, sTxt, sFnd) {
// Implemented as per the previous code snippet
// ...
}

// Find the best match using "fuzzywhole" algorithm
function findBestMatch(query, targets) {
let bestMatch = {
target: "",
score: 0
};

for (let target of targets) {
const score = fuzzywhole(3, target, query);
if (score > bestMatch.score) {
bestMatch = {
target,
score. score
};
}
}

return bestMatch;
}

// Use the findBestMatch function
const result = findBestMatch(searchQuery, searchTargets);
console.log(Best match: "${result.target}" with score ${result.score.toFixed(2)});
