Please restore fuzzy search

Post by brevven »

Hello, congrats on the release of Space Age.

I see the patch notes in 2.0.7 have this line:
Removed the "fuzzy search" setting.
It seems like the functionality was completely removed, not just the setting. I am hoping there is a plan to restore this functionality? It makes searching for most things with one hand on keyboard and one hand on mouse possible (with qwerty). (Eg. Turrets are "trt" and furnaces are "frce". Right now, both of those relatively common items require two hands to search.

Thank you.

I am also sad that it's no more :(
Searching for fully named modules is an absolute pain now. Previously you would be able to search for "Prod 3" or "Speed 3" and it would work. Now you have to type in so much more to see the level 3 modules.

What was the reason behind its removal?
