Fuzzy Search Plugin
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
The ``fuzzy_search`` plugin provides a command that search your library using
|
|
fuzzy pattern matching. This can be useful if you want to find a track with complicated characters in the title.
|
|
|
|
First, enable the plugin named ``fuzzy_search`` (see :doc:`/plugins/index`).
|
|
You'll then be able to use the ``beet fuzzy`` command::
|
|
|
|
$ beet fuzzy Vareoldur
|
|
Sigur Rós - Valtari - Varðeldur
|
|
|
|
The command has several options that resemble those for the ``beet list``
|
|
command (see :doc:`/reference/cli`). To choose an album instead of a single
|
|
track, use ``-a``; to print paths to items instead of metadata, use ``-p``; and
|
|
to use a custom format for printing, use ``-f FORMAT``.
|
|
|
|
The ``-t NUMBER`` option lets you specify how precise the fuzzy match has to be
|
|
(default is 0.7). To make a fuzzier search, try ``beet fuzzy -t 0.5 Varoeldur``.
|
|
A value of ``1`` will show only perfect matches and a value of ``0`` will match everything.
|
|
|
|
The default threshold can also be set from the config file.::
|
|
|
|
[fuzzy]
|
|
threshold: 0.8
