### fuzzySearch
Determines if the `patrn` matches with `str`
Loops through `str` and determines if it contains all characters of `patrn` and in the correct order. Both the strings are converted to lower case.
Taken from [here](https://github.com/forrestthewoods/lib_fts/blob/80f3f8c52db53428247e741b9efe2cde9667050c/code/fts_fuzzy_match.js#L18).
``` js
fuzzySearch = (patrn, str) => {
const pattern = patrn;
const string = str;
let patternIdx = 0;
let strIdx = 0;
let patternLength = pattern.length;
let strLength = string.length;
while (patternIdx !== patternLength && strIdx !== strLength) {
let patternChar = pattern[patternIdx].toLowerCase();
let strChar = string[strIdx].toLowerCase();
if (patternChar === strChar)
++patternIdx;
++strIdx;
}
return patternLength !== 0 && strLength !== 0 && patternIdx === patternLength ? true : false;
}
```
``` js
fuzzySearch('rt','Rohit); // true
fuzzySearch('tr','Rohit); // false
```
