SilverMaple

An elm module for scoring string matches, like LiquidMetal.js. Queries including the target's capitals or word starts are scored higher than queries that only match lower-case, interior letters.

SilverMaple.score("SM", "SilverMaple") -> 10.1f
SilverMaple.score("re", "SilverMaple") -> 4.3f

My understanding of the algorithm

score

1. Iterate through the query. For each character in the target, if it matches:

• score a Match and ...
• If the match isStarting, score a Match for the previous character and fill the remaining scores with SpecialTrailing.
• Else, fill the remaining scores with Trailing.

1. Return the sum of the scores.
2. Return the maximum score.
