fuzzy search option

[Robonau]

cause of the multiple titles translations problem

so currently HN will not get
Tensei Kizoku no Isekai Boukenroku - Jichou wo Shiranai Kamigami no Shito
if the site is
Tensei Kizoku no Isekai Boukenroku - Jichou o Shiranai Kamigami no Shito
the only differance is the missing w but its a pretty common differance
fuzzy would deal with this quite handily
english example:
She Professed Herself Pupil of the Wiseman
She Professed Herself the Pupil of the Wise Man
and exact matches would still be at the top of the list, so its not gonna make it any worse

Should https://github.com/krisk/Fuse be an affordable option for us?

[sisco0]

@Robonau take a look at the PR video to get an idea of the implementation.

I truly wonder how it behaves on non ASCII languages

I truly wonder how it behaves on non ASCII languages

Fuse doesn't support searching through non-ASCII characters. Explained in this issues.
The known workaround is to convert non ASCII to ASCII using diacritics

I'm mostly thinking on asian characters as they are quite a big part of the connectors.

[sisco0]

Could you kindly provide a way to test this out? Hopefully something could be done under this issue for that @Sheepux .

[manh21]

@sisco0 you can find example data with asian characters in this manga list. More examples available at https://github.com/manga-download/hakuneko-cdn

Actually i can't. That's something to be "defined". Or probably there should be some kind of (automatic?) function to disable the fuzzy search (can be done in another PR).
You can find special chars in the sheep's manga unit-test connector

@sisco0 you can find example data with asian characters in this [manga list]

Well need someone asian to let us know about issues around false positiv, to tell us about the quality of this feature on their languages.

After testing the Sheep's Awesome Mangas connector, I have two conclusions made up:

1. It seems that the search is working correctly when the exactly same symbols are taken as input, even with missing symbols in-between. Evidence is attached at the end of this message.
2. The Real 23 example images are very funny, this was a really great surprise to find.

For sure, having a user who could test in-depth the filter feature for non-ASCII characters would be great.

[Sheepux]

So the feature seems quite good.
So what is left ? Chapter search ? Connector search ?
Do we need regexp search as we have multiple chapter selection available.

I'll close it for now. Fuzzy seems ok
