Request for Improved Fuzzy Search Function and Tree Expansion Behavior

All I want for Christmas is this new feature.

Hello,

I work for a company that manages around 400 customers and over 3,000 entries. We connect to servers daily to perform maintenance tasks and the search function is frequently used for this purpose.

Unfortunately, the current search function is not optimal as it often fails to return the expected results. The search function should support fuzzy matching and tolerate typos. It should also be possible to find results using only part of a name. Results that start with the search term should be prioritised over those that merely contain it. Nice2Have: When an exact, complete name is entered, only one result should be returned, even if multiple matching entries theoretically exist.

Please consider implementing a new fuzzy search mode. As an easier alternative that would still represent a significant improvement, it would be helpful to have a setting that ignores special characters such as '-'. Most of our entries are grouped and separated using hyphens.

Currently, all search results are expanded to show all child nodes in the tree. Since some entries have many child nodes, this quickly becomes very cluttered. Therefore, either no nodes should be expanded, or only the first child node in the tree should be expanded. I have already disabled the “Expand all folders” setting, but the "first" entry is still expanded.
