[Feature] Fuzzy autocomplete

• I have searched and found no existing issue

💻

• Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

I want to be able to type "inv kid" and the autocomplete will suggest my category "Investments for kids", rather than have to type the whole thing or stop at an exact substring (e.g., "inves") and move my hands down to the arrow keys and select the category from the list

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

Fuzzy matching (like that available here). So you can type just parts of the strings and even out of order and it will still find them

Teaching and learning

It wouldn't have to be taught. Just an intuitive enhancement over the autocomplete already implemented.
