Switch to fuzzy search

[athityakumar]

Currently, the search used in the dropdown is an exact-search. Rather, a partial search (like the one in MFQP/MCMP) would be more convenient.

Hi. I would like to tackle this issue.

Currently you use a datalist which already has autocompletion but uncompatible with a partial search. Can I change the UI to be more like MFQP ?

Also a library (List.js) already implements fuzzy search. Do you prefer to have a handcoded version (could be a fun experience) or to use it ?

Hey @chatpion ! Thank you for showing interest in this project. Go ahead and send a PR😅

@chatpion - We're currently using string scoring in MFQP, to implement the partial-matching search. We could use a similar one (according to the keys in our modified datalist, here) 😄
