Author of fuzzysearch here. Most of these libraries focus on calculating distance metrics between pairs of strings, or finding the nearest match to a string among many candidates. On the other hand, fuzzysearch is used for finding near matches to a string within much longer strings or texts. Common use cases are fuzzy searches in DNA sequences and long texts such as books and articles.
