How to use it

Finds the closest matches to the query strings from the choices using fuzzy string matching.

Parameters:
query_strings: The list (iterable) of query strings. DO NOT PUT EMPTY STRINGS IN THE LIST!
choices: The list (iterable) of choices to match against. DO NOT PUT EMPTY STRINGS IN THE LIST!
clear_cache (bool): Whether to clear the cache after processing.
max_results_each_query (int): The maximum number of results for each query.
allow_repeating_matches (bool): Whether to allow repeating matches.
first_limit (int): The initial score limit (presearch) for matches.
chunksize (int): The size of chunks to process.
cutoff (float): The score cutoff for matches.
processor (callable): The processor function to use.
score_cutoff (float): The score cutoff for matches.
score_hint (float): The score hint for matches.
score_multiplier (int): The score multiplier for matches.
workers (int): The number of workers to use.
scorer_kwargs (dict): Additional arguments for the scoring functions.
first_scorers (tuple): The tuple of scoring functions to use.

Returns:
dict: A dictionary containing the closest matches for each query.
