  I really like using something like fuzzy search for menus like these.

There's also fzf and skim, which work similarly but are only for the terminal. Source: 11 months ago

• Fuzzy search for Astro using fzf and Preact

  On the command line, I have been using fzf - in combination with fd - for quite some time now. I use it to search for directories, previous commands in the shell history and other search/filter related tasks. Luckily, there is also FZF for JavaScript, which is an unofficial port of fzf for the browser. We will use this module to power our search. - Source: dev.to / 12 months ago
