Fast fuzzy string matching for Rust and JavaScript.

Built for autocomplete, command palettes, and search-as-you-type interfaces.

## Install

```bash
# rust
cargo add quickmatch

# js
npm install quickmatch-js
```

## Usage

**Rust**

```rust
use quickmatch::{QuickMatch, QuickMatchConfig};

let items = vec!["file_name", "file_size", "created_at", "updated_at"];
let qm = QuickMatch::new(&items);

qm.matches("file name");  // ["file_name", "file_size"]
qm.matches("filename");   // ["file_name", "file_size"]  (compound match)
qm.matches("filenme");    // ["file_name", "file_size"]  (trigram fuzzy)

// Custom config
let config = QuickMatchConfig::new()
    .with_limit(5)
    .with_trigram_budget(10)
    .with_separators(&['_', '-', ' ']);
let qm = QuickMatch::new_with(&items, config);
```

**JavaScript**

```js
import { QuickMatch, QuickMatchConfig } from "quickmatch-js";

const items = ["file_name", "file_size", "created_at", "updated_at"];
const qm = new QuickMatch(items);

qm.matches("file name");  // ["file_name", "file_size"]
qm.matches("filename");   // ["file_name", "file_size"]  (compound match)
qm.matches("filenme");    // ["file_name", "file_size"]  (trigram fuzzy)

// Custom config
const config = new QuickMatchConfig()
  .withLimit(5)
  .withTrigramBudget(10)
  .withSeparators("_- ");
const qm2 = new QuickMatch(items, config);
```

## How it works

Queries go through three matching stages:

1. **Word match** — query is split by separators and looked up in a word index
2. **Compound match** — adjacent words are indexed as compounds, so `hashrate` finds `hash_rate`
3. **Trigram fallback** — unknown words are matched via character trigrams for fuzzy/typo tolerance

Results are ranked by prefix score (exact > prefix > unordered), then by trigram score, then by length.

## Config

All options are documented in the `QuickMatchConfig` source. Builder methods:

| Rust | JS | Default |
|------|-----|---------|
| `with_limit(n)` | `withLimit(n)` | 100 |
| `with_trigram_budget(n)` | `withTrigramBudget(n)` | 6 |
| `with_min_score(n)` | `withMinScore(n)` | 2 |
| `with_separators(&[..])` | `withSeparators(s)` | `_- :/` |

## Performance

Benchmarked against ~5,000 metric names, 83 queries, averaged over 10K iterations:

| | Avg/query | Build time |
|---|-----------|------------|
| **Rust** | ~26 us | ~40 ms |
| **JS** | ~29 us | ~30 ms |
