after having a second look at this, I believe this algorithm is too permissive. For example, it would find my-awesome-project by querying with ywp. I'd like to keep matching by first letters of each word in the name

Yes, the search algorithm is by design. Maybe I can make it more strict: only match the left letters of eatch word. For eg: my-awesome-projct will matching the patterns:

  • map -> yes
  • myawp -> yes
  • mawpr -> yes
  • awp -> yes
  • mwr -> no
  • ywp -> no

What's your opinion?
