This is a stand alone HTML file with a nifty JavaScript algorithm for matching strings, implemented to search through a list of names. It was presented as a part of a workshop for TorontoJS on Monday the 12th of December 2016.

//This algorithm is an original work by Andrew Matte in Toronto, [email protected]
//You are completely free to do whatever you want with this algorithm but,
//please credit me if the project is open source. Also there is no warranty that is it perfectly suited to your use case.
//Written originally in Visual Basic to replace VLOOKUP's fuzzy lookup in Microsoft Excel
//in 2014, implemented in MS-SQL, Python, and JS.
//Apologies for any similarities to an algorithm you personally might have written independently.
