Fuzbal Extension

Author: Alexey Ilchenko

Fuzbal gives Ctrl+F like find results which include non-exact (fuzzy) matches and also searching by regular expressions. The fuzziness comes from trying to add potentially misspelled words and words that are often seen together in context (synonyms).

The former uses string edit distance while the latter uses Stanford's GloVe pre-trained word vectors. The dictionary file is included with the extension and so all searches are done locally.
