Real fuzzy searching. #36

Description

I experimented with something using Levenshtein distance for #26 but it really doesn't work particularly well.

For example, searching for babel will say did you mean parcel or sabel? I mean, they are okay matches but when it isn't picking up on things like babel-plugin-transform-vue-jsx it's kind of... eh.

I think any decent fuzzy match would prioritise results where the first 5 letters all match fully over partial matches.

#28 could also benefit from better fuzzy searching, probably? And no doubt countless other things.

I just don't know whether to do this after 0.1 or not.
