Dynamically adjusting similarity threshold
We can assume typical identifiers to be between 10 and 30 characters long. When typing a short search term, a user expects to get a lot of partially matching results. However, when they search for a long term, the precision is expected to increase. This is contrary to how the similarity score in postgres & crdb works, so we need to dynamically adjust the similarity threshold.
This likely needs even more fine-tuning, but seems to work ok now.
Sort by similarity
I think this change is quite obvious 😉
