    μFuzzy has a great comparison project that could serve as a reference for all fuzzy search implementations. My fuzzy searcher (v1) is already included and will soon be updated to v…

    Sorry for the confusion. I think you could generate the memento each time you compile your blog into HTML. The memento can be stored as a json file and served statically by your fi…

    Thank you for sharing. The example, where the same sentence is presented with different labels, effectively illustrates the essence of the idea.
