Regex support in search?

[macintacos]

Considering that this is using ag, can regex support be added for searching your wiki?

Also while you're at it, an option for fuzzy matching would be nice as an alternative default (like, a search for "foo" would return the matched "foo" first, but also match "fobo").

Thanks for proposal!.

I will research it and add a function.

I should find out if VS Code's quickPick supports it.

Looks like most of the niceness of VScode search APIs are restricted to the workspaces folders. Could probably just switch to using regex by default? (not sure if perf penalties there).

I'm not too familiar with fuzzy matching libraries, but we could probably get this by using a fuzzy search library (Fuse.js seems popular) and feeding the list of text generated in the search https://github.com/hannut91/vs-code-wiki/blob/master/src/commands/search-wiki.ts#L23
