Fuzzy search #4059

Description

@H5820121

It would be great if FL could add a fuzzy search option, for searching file names (with the Everything search engine).

Everything does have this option (SOUNDEX), but it uses a very outdated algorithm (from 1973), which only supports English letters. In the past, I opened a request there for an algorithm that would also support Hebrew letters https://www.voidtools.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=68665#p68665 but so far this has not been fixed, and it does not seem that it will be fixed in the future.

Thanks!
