Match semantics (to be improved)

"Fuzzy search" sometimes implies robustness against typos and sometimes does not. The fzt search matches only strings that contain the query as a literal subsequence; e.g. "the" will match "them" and "one two three" but will not match "teh". Also, fzt is currently not as intelligent about ranking matches as fzf is. Results are sorted by longest match, without regard for other heuristics, e.g. how early a match occurs or how long the non-maximum matches are.
