Sifter is a client and server-side library (via UMD) for textually
searching arrays and hashes of objects by property – or multiple
properties. It's designed specifically for autocomplete. The process
is three-step: score, filter, sort.
.
* Supports díåcritîçs.
.
For example, if searching for "montana" and an item in the set has
a value of "montaña", it will still be matched. Sorting will also
play nicely with diacritics.
.
* Smart scoring.
.
Items are scored / sorted intelligently depending on where a
match is found in the string (how close to the beginning) and
what percentage of the string matches.
.
* Multi-field sorting.
.
When scores aren't enough to go by – like when getting results
for an empty query – it can sort by one or more fields. For
example, sort by a person's first name and last name without
actually merging the properties to a single string.
.
* Nested properties.
.
Allows one to search and sort on nested properties so you can
perform search on complex objects without flattening them simply
by using dot-notation to reference fields (ie. nested.property).
