Custom fuzzy search

Inspired by the RSS Integration feature request, I believe there’s potential to generalize fuzzy search workflows as a whole.

I’m a huge fan of fzf in the terminal, makes it amazing to build up custom workflows for filtering & entering things very quickly (like searching roles in cloud provider platforms to insert into your terraform setup)

This feature could be designed in a variety of ways, so I’ll leave it to you on what makes the most sense. But in general, it’s something like this in fzf:

  1. Fetch / load data

  2. Pre-process in a certain way (things like jq using JSON, awk, etc)

  3. Show results

  4. Fuzzy search

  5. Enter to insert (or customizable actions)

In advanced cases, this can even be further expanded to pipelined fzf instantiations like fzf search of menu items → fzf search of actions on selected menu item
