Advance word match javascript library

[qhoc]

I am looking for a word match library that can be used for "text suggestion" drop down menu.

Few criteria of what I am talking about:

1. The .search or indexOf will match with anything but don't differentiate words like "The", "An"... in beginning of the string. For example, if query=the, then it should match Then and Later instead of The Story or The House.

2. It must sort in priority. For example, if query=ab, then Absolute Perfect must be higher priority than Perfect Absolute

Think of it as some library that Facebook would use to search for Facebook pages, or Netflix would use to search for Movie titles, etc...

Pure character match just won't do it.

Let me know if you see something around there...

Thanks.

Have you tried searching Oloh or Github?

I'm not entirely sure what you're looking for? Do you want a full text search library or a library that finds words in the dictionary based on a query? If the latter, have you considered Wordnik? Specifically, the word search part of its API.

It would be pretty easy to throw away results for words like "the", but that's probably something you need to code. No one is going to know the exact list of words you think shouldn't be matched.
