I am having a hard time understanding what all those functions of this library are used for and which one I should use.
It would be good to have a broad explanation of the algorithm, it's uses and maybe a link to some resources, that explains it in further detail. Maybe also list the advantages and disadvantages?
You could also include some real world examples
For example, how could I improve this simple search function with strsim, to not only find exact matches, but also very similar matches;
fn search(list: Vec<&str>, value: &str) -> Option<&str> {
for x in &list {
if x == value {
return Some(x);
}
}
return None;
}
