fuzzy search (search with mispelled words)
I'm trying out a fuzzy search if you use the search bar above. It's still a bit slow but I'm working to optomize it.

If you spell everything right it will work just as fast and like it always has. However if your search returns no results it will swap over to doing a fuzzy search and make suggestions

These are the results for accidentally searching for "pot of watter" instead of "pod of water". It will do a fuzzy search for everything that is close to sounding the same as your search, and then it will put the most commonly viewed items at the top of the list. With those two methods combined I'm hoping it'll get people what they are after most of the time.

I can't promise this will stick around, if I can't get the performance straightened out it may have to go on the chopping block.

I figured out a much faster method, and one with more accurate guesses (I think). It's performing well enough that I don't think it'll have to be taken down.
