I never found a satisfying search algotithm with atuin (iterating over time between fuzzy, skim, fulltext, and maybe others). Is there one that is both:

- case insensitive (e.g. inputting "make" matches ("make install", "vim Makefile")

- works on partial matches (e.g. inputting "ma in" matches ("make install", "cd main")

?

The new "daemon-fuzzy" mode uses a new fuzzy matcher powered by Nucleo and might be what you're looking for

it seems indeed better in some ways, but the scoring is still way off,

for example, for my second criteria:

> - works on partial matches (e.g. inputting "ma in" matches ("make install", "cd main")

typing "ma in" I would expect "make install" to come before "cd main" to come before (what's currently the very first hit) "cd Binaries/Multimedia".

I'm now reading about https://docs.atuin.sh/cli/configuration/config/?h=fuzzy+daem... while not managing to really get what would seem natural. Sigh.

I'd start with setting the combined frecency score to 0 and testing out how the raw fuzzy scoring does. Then if you find you're having trouble finding recent or frequent commands, you can adjust from there. If you can't find a configuration that feels good, please feel free let me know in an issue.
