7312 matchfuzzy({list}, {str}) *matchfuzzy()*
7313 Returns a list with all the strings in {list} that fuzzy
7314 match {str}. The strings in the returned list are sorted
7315 based on the matching score. {str} is treated as a literal
7316 string and regular expression matching is NOT supported.
7317 The maximum supported {str} length is 256.
7318
7319 If there are no matching strings or there is an error, then an
7320 empty list is returned. If length of {str} is greater than
7321 256, then returns an empty list.

7324 :echo matchfuzzy(["clay", "crow"], "cay")
7325 < results in ["clay"]. >
7326 :echo getbufinfo()->map({_, v -> v.name})->matchfuzzy("ndl")
7327 < results in a list of buffer names fuzzy matching "ndl". >
7328 :echo v:oldfiles->matchfuzzy("test")
7329 < results in a list of file names fuzzy matching "test". >
7330 :let l = readfile("buffer.c")->matchfuzzy("str")
