Just so people are aware: FlexSearch has no fuzzy search.
This is an extension of 118, which was opened 5 years ago at the time of this issue.
This is confusing to people for two main reasons:
The benchmarks are comparing FlexSearch to libraries that do fuzzy search (which also would explain at least some of the performance gap).
The library is tagged with both "fuzzy" and "fuzzy-search" as tags. Meaning that people who search for libraries that do fuzzy search will accidentally end up here, unaware that it's not what they are looking for.
It probably isn't going to happen given that it's already been 5 years and #118 is the most upvoted issue, so new users need to adjust expectations accordingly. I can do a PR for the readme too, because that would help a lot of people and save a lot of confusion.

I started trying to integrate flexsearch yesterday (certified newbie), but wouldn't if I knew there is no fuzzy search. Thanks for the heads up!
Slightly related: the readme needs more palate for human consumption. The library seems awesome, so it deserves the love. I can open a separate issue if there is a need to explain why.
