					### Tips | 
				
			
			
				
				
			
		
	
		
		
			
				
					
					 | 
					 | 
					## FAQ | 
					 | 
					 | 
					Fuzzyhome doesn't use an algorithm that attempts to be intelligent about which links it ranks first because | 
				
			
			
				
				
			
		
	
		
		
			
				
					
					 | 
					 | 
					
 | 
					 | 
					 | 
					having a more predictable behavior lets you work faster since you know it will do the same thing every single time. | 
				
			
			
				
				
			
		
	
		
		
			
				
					
					 | 
					 | 
					### Why Don't You Use A "Smarter" Algorithm Based On Frecency? | 
					 | 
					 | 
					
 | 
				
			
			
				
				
			
		
	
		
		
			
				
					
					 | 
					 | 
					Having one result ranked highest when you expect | 
					 | 
					 | 
					The search results are first filtered on character order. | 
				
			
			
				
				
			
		
	
		
		
			
				
					
					 | 
					 | 
					another can be really frustrating, | 
					 | 
					 | 
					If the characters of a given link name are not in the same order as the query, that link will be excluded from the results. | 
				
			
			
				
				
			
		
	
		
		
			
				
					
					 | 
					 | 
					namely because you have to pay attention to the results | 
					 | 
					 | 
					So if I have a link named `messenger` and I type `mgs`, | 
				
			
			
				
				
			
		
	
		
		
			
				
					
					 | 
					 | 
					instead of just typing the same thing to get the same result | 
					 | 
					 | 
					`messenger` will be excluded from the results because the `g` does not come before the `s`. | 
				
			
			
				
				
			
		
	
		
		
			
				
					
					 | 
					 | 
					every single time and pressing enter without thinking about it. | 
					 | 
					 | 
					
 | 
				
			
			
				
				
			
		
	
		
		
			
				
					
					 | 
					 | 
					
 | 
					 | 
					 | 
					The fuzzy search [algorithm](https://github.com/jhawthorn/fzy/blob/master/ALGORITHM.md) | 
				
			
			
				
				
			
		
	
		
		
			
				
					
					 | 
					 | 
					What's the solution then? Just rename your links accordingly. | 
					 | 
					 | 
					prioritizes shorter strings and strings whose words begin with the letters of the query. | 
				
			
			
				
				
			
		
	
		
		
			
				
					
					 | 
					 | 
					This way, it's **your** choice. | 
					 | 
					 | 
					
 | 
				
			
			
				
				
			
		
	
		
		
			
				
					
					 | 
					 | 
					
 | 
					 | 
					 | 
					With those factors in mind, if you encounter a situation where a certain link you access less often is showing up in search results on top of | 
				
			
			
				
				
			
		
	
		
		
			
				
					
					 | 
					 | 
					For example, I have one link named `mpv` which I've accessed `7` times, | 
					 | 
					 | 
					a link you access much more often, such as `mpv` showing up on top of a desired link `messenger`, | 
				
			
			
				
				
			
		
	
		
		
			
				
					
					 | 
					 | 
					and one link named `messenger` which I've accessed `106` times. | 
					 | 
					 | 
					either lengthen `mpv`'s name to something like `_mpv`, or shorten `messenger`'s name to something like `m`. | 
				
			
			
				
				
			
		
	
		
		
			
				
					
					 | 
					 | 
					Under conventional wisdom, typing the query `m` should show | 
					 | 
					 | 
					
 | 
				
			
			
				
				
			
		
	
		
		
			
				
					
					 | 
					 | 
					`messenger` at the top of the results because I access it way more | 
					 | 
					 | 
					With either of these solutions, typing `m` will always result in the desired link showing up first. | 
				
			
			
				
				
			
		
	
		
		
			
				
					
					 | 
					 | 
					often, so it's probably what I want, right? | 
					 | 
					 | 
					That will be the behavior every single time, regardless of which link you accessed more recently, | 
				
			
			
				
				
			
		
	
		
		
			
				
					
					 | 
					 | 
					
 | 
					 | 
					 | 
					what time of day it is, or some other random variable. | 
				
			
			
				
				
			
		
	
		
		
			
				
					 | 
					 | 
					No. Instead, I should just rename `mpv` to something else, | 
					 | 
					 | 
					 | 
				
			
			
		
	
		
		
			
				
					 | 
					 | 
					such as `_mpv`. Now, typing `m` results in `messenger` showing up first, | 
					 | 
					 | 
					 | 
				
			
			
		
	
		
		
			
				
					 | 
					 | 
					and typing `mp` results in `mpv` showing up first. | 
					 | 
					 | 
					 | 
				
			
			
		
	
		
		
			
				
					 | 
					 | 
					This is what will happen **every single time**. | 
					 | 
					 | 
					 | 
				
			
			
		
	
		
		
			
				
					 | 
					 | 
					It doesn't matter what time of day it is, | 
					 | 
					 | 
					 | 
				
			
			
		
	
		
		
			
				
					 | 
					 | 
					how many times I accessed some other link recently, | 
					 | 
					 | 
					 | 
				
			
			
		
	
		
		
			
				
					 | 
					 | 
					or any other variable; | 
					 | 
					 | 
					 | 
				
			
			
		
	
		
		
			
				
					 | 
					 | 
					I type `m`, press enter, and that's it. | 
					 | 
					 | 
					 |
