 # fzy

-A fuzzy text selector for terminals in C inspired by

-[selecta](https://github.com/garybernhardt/selecta),

-but with an improved [scoring algorithm](#sorting).

+A fast, simple fuzzy text selector for the terminal with an advanced [scoring

+algorithm](#sorting).

+

+## Why use this over fzf, pick, selecta, ctrlp, ...?

+

+fzy is faster and shows better results than other fuzzy finders.

+

+Most other fuzzy matchers sort based on the length of a match. fzy tries to

+find the result the user intended. It does this by favouring matches on

+consecutive letters and starts of words. This allows matching using acronyms or

+different parts of the path.

+

+A gory comparison of the sorting used by fuzzy finders can be found in [ALGORITHM.md](ALGORITHM.md)

+

+fzy is designed to be used both as an editor plugin and on the command line.

+Rather than clearing the screen, fzy displays its interface directly below the current cursor position, scrolling the screen if necessary.
