The search box misses some symbols

[timotheecour]

it doesn't show strformat.fmt

EDIT multisync also doesn't show up

related but different issue:

• It is not easy to find generic procs like system.find() - Nim forum culprit in this case: results capped at 1st 19 entries
• [docgen] search box shows irrelevant symbols: comandlines => colors: colMaroon search function of html documentations has too many false positives/negatives #9406

Summoning the fuzzysearch expert @rayman22201, please :)

I am summoned lol. I don't think I will have much time until Saturday, but I will take a look as soon as I can.

Finally was able to debug this.
The issue here is that fmt doesn't match properly is because it gets too big of a penalty for not matching the module title. In this case "strformat"

I'm regretting the idea of allowing the module title to be part of the search. It seems to cause too many problems. Using a searchIndex.json as @timotheecour and I discussed in IRC is going to make this easier to fix.
