Feature Request - Disable Fuzzy Search

[DianaNites]

I want to be able to, either in the config or through a keybinding, disable the fuzzy search that was added in 5.11.0.

I need this because sometimes it is important to get exact matches, in the normal ordering(I have folders of videos named YYYYMMDD - Title want to search some text in Title exactly and scroll to a certain date, which is impossible with fuzzy search because the result order is arbitrary)

Menu navigation also works differently in fuzzy search, left no longer enters folders and home/end no longer work. Maybe that one is due to #1094 in 5.9.0? I updated from 5.8.0 all the way to 5.12.0 recently, so.. It would be a shame to downgrade and give up all the bug fixes and new features since then..

That's a reasonable ask. I think we can use the refine=search option for this, but it'd mean it'll be disabled by default for everyone who updates to next version. Not sure if this is something that should be prevented.

As for navigation yeah, the text input editing which was a requested feature is impossible without taking over previous keybinds for menu navigation. But you can still activate items with enter. I don't thin we have an alternative way to go back though. I think we should add an alt+up for that maybe. But you can bind menu commands in input.conf yourself. They are: menu-prev, menu-next, menu-prev-page, menu-next-page, menu-start, menu-end, menu-activate, menu-back

Or use keywords in the input box for precise search, for example: precise|search_value

Personally I would find leywords too verbose for my liking, because due to the ways I have laid out my media precise search is what works best as default and is what I want in most cases
