string_score by joshaven

• Simple - Adds a .score() method to the JavaScript String object... "String".score("str");
• Fast - fastest that I can find, often drastically faster... run the tests yourself and expand the benchmark test result. From 4000 to 15000 string matches per second with a string of 446 chars scored against 70 character string... depending upon the browser used.
• Small - We are talking (431 bytes)
• Portable - Works in 100% of the browsers I've tested on multiple platforms
• Independent - Doesn't require any other JavaScript - should work with any framework.
• Tested - Not everyone writes tests (silly people). Testing using Qunit
• Proper - Passes jslint as well as meets the coding practices and principles of opinionated developers :-)
• Fuzzyable - Optional paramater for fuzziness (allows mismatched info to still score the string)

Sample

Try me:
" ".score(" "); //=>

Or play with my fuzziness:
" ".score(" ", ); //=>

Fuzzyness should be between 0 and 1. Low fuzziness like 0.01 means a mismatch will drop the score more then a fuzziness of something like 0.9.

Dependencies

Any modern bower, NodeJS, or other JavaScript interpreter.

Install

Simply include one of the string score JavaScript files and call the .score() method on any string.

I recommend using string_score.min.js (810 bytes) because it is small yet also contains the license, version and source info. score.uglify.js (431 bytes) is the smallest file size for those of you who care about a half of a kb... string_score.js (3,822 bytes) includes comments and is the largest file
