fuzzy search and typos

See original GitHub issue

Is there any way to support typos/misspellings of a word? Like a hamilton distance search where anything with a small distance is also included? eg: if I misspell tetx instead text. Is this supported?

@ts-thomas With a fuzzy search you will make every other search libraries obselete. Can you imagine the impact on society ? Every release would be showcased at the Las Vegas flexsearch conference, you could have your own TV show, who knows?

Please, we crave this feature.

Could be interesting to mention this on the README. Why would you include fuzzy search libraries in the benchmarks if flexsearch does not even support it?
