Overview

fast, configurable and intuitive fuzzy searcher

powerful multi-purpose fuzzy searcher

From the maintainer

Origin story

I needed a good library for various fuzzy searching apps and nothing fit the bill so I created this one. The application is just the natural result of having made the library.

First workflow

Just run `mm`! Or you can try the powerful ripgrep example (see README).

Design choice

matchmaker is a fuzzy searcher (like fzf) with modern features and elegance in its philosophy. It has a ton of quality of life features like toml configurations, action aliases, keybind testing, built-in documentation and a minimalistic cli option syntax. It has most of fzf's major features, like command templating and rebindable actions. Additionally, it has powerful column support and smart column sizing, horizontal scrolling, mouse scrolling for preview and results, horizontal and automatic scrolling.

Roadmap

I consider it complete for now except for a few niche capabilities but I'm open to feature requests.
