<h1 id="searching"><a class="header" href="#searching">Searching</a></h1>
<p>xplr supports searching paths using different algorithm. The search mechanism
generally appears between filters and sorters in the <code>Sort &amp; filter</code> panel.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre><code>fzy:foo↓
</code></pre>
<p>This line means that the nodes visible on the table are being filtered using the
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximate_string_matching">fuzzy matching</a> algorithm on the input <code>foo</code>. The arrow means that ranking based
ordering is being applied, i.e. <a href="sorting.html">sorters</a> are being ignored.</p>
<h2 id="node-searcher-applicable"><a class="header" href="#node-searcher-applicable">Node Searcher Applicable</a></h2>
<p>Node Searcher contains the following fields:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="#pattern">pattern</a></li>
<li><a href="#recoverable_focus">recoverable_focus</a></li>
<li><a href="#algorithm">algorithm</a></li>
<li><a href="#unordered">unordered</a></li>
</ul>
<h3 id="pattern"><a class="header" href="#pattern">pattern</a></h3>
<p>The patterns used to search.</p>
<p>Type: string</p>
<h3 id="recoverable_focus"><a class="header" href="#recoverable_focus">recoverable_focus</a></h3>
<p>Where to focus when search is cancelled.</p>
<p>Type: nullable string</p>
<h3 id="algorithm"><a class="header" href="#algorithm">algorithm</a></h3>
<p>Search algorithm to use. Defaults to the value set in
<a href="general-config.html#xplrconfiggeneralsearchalgorithm">xplr.config.general.search.algorithm</a>.</p>
<p>It can be one of the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Fuzzy</li>
<li>Regex</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="unordered"><a class="header" href="#unordered">unordered</a></h3>
<p>Whether to skip ordering the search result by algorithm based ranking. Defaults
to the value set in <a href="general-config.html#xplrconfiggeneralsearchunordered">xplr.config.general.search.unordered</a>.</p>
<p>Type: boolean</p>
<h2 id="example"><a class="header" href="#example">Example:</a></h2>
<pre><code class="language-lua">local searcher = {
pattern = &quot;pattern to search&quot;,
recoverable_focus = &quot;/path/to/focus/on/cancel&quot;,
algorithm = &quot;Fuzzy&quot;,
unordered = false,
