📚 Examples

Example 1: Basic Search

$ fuzzygrep people.json
[people.json] Search> john

Matches in Keys:
┌─────────┬────────────────┬───────┐
│ Key     │ Value          │ Score │
├─────────┼────────────────┼───────┤
│ name    │ John Doe       │  95.0 │
│ email   │ [e-mail] │  82.0 │
└─────────┴────────────────┴───────┘

Matches in Values:
┌────────────────┬──────┬───────┐
│ Value          │ Keys │ Score │
├────────────────┼──────┼───────┤
│ John Doe       │ name │  100  │
│ [e-mail] │ email│  88.0 │
└────────────────┴──────┴───────┘

Example 2: Export Results

[data.json] Search> alice

# Export as JSON
[data.json] Search> /export json results.json

# Export as CSV
[data.json] Search> /export csv results.csv

# Export as HTML with nice formatting
[data.json] Search> /export html report.html

Example 3: Filter by Keys

[data.json] Search> /filter email,phone,address
Filter applied: email, phone, address

# Now searches are limited to these keys
[data.json] Search> john

Example 4: Performance Options

# Disable caching for always-fresh data
fuzzygrep data.json --no-cache

# Disable indexing for small files
fuzzygrep small.json --no-index

# Control worker threads
fuzzygrep large.json --workers 8

# Combine options
fuzzygrep data.json --no-cache --workers 4 --verbose

Example 5: Visualizations

# Tree view with depth limit
fuzzygrep data.json --chart --chart-limit 50

# Frequency analysis
fuzzygrep data.json --histogram

Key Components

Loaders (core/loaders.py)

• Automatic format detection (JSON/CSV)
• Streaming for large files (>10MB)
• Memory-optimized data structures
• Graceful error handling

Searcher (core/searcher.py)

• Fuzzy matching with RapidFuzz
• Trigram-based pre-filtering
• Parallel processing support
• Smart scorer selection
• Multi-layer caching

Indexer (core/indexer.py)

• Trigram-based search index
• Fast candidate filtering
• Reduces search space by 50-90%
• Persistent index caching

Display (ui/display.py)

• Rich table formatting
• Syntax-highlighted JSON
• Tree visualizations
• Multiple export formats

⚡ Performance

Benchmarks

Tested on a dataset of 10,000 records:

Operation	Time	Memory
Load JSON	1.2s	45MB
Build Index	0.8s	15MB
Search (indexed)	45ms	-
Search (no index)	320ms	-
Export JSON	0.5s	-

Optimization Tips

1. Enable indexing (default): Best for repeated searches
2. Use streaming: Automatic for files >10MB
3. Enable caching (default): Instant results for repeated queries
4. Parallel processing (default): Faster on multi-core systems
5. Filter keys: Reduce search space for faster results

# Run all tests
pytest

# With coverage report
pytest --cov=fuzzygrep --cov-report=html

# Run specific test file
pytest tests/test_searcher.py

# Verbose output
