Details

Having it exact search is a bit too strict. Having it fuzzy would improve my user experience.

Could you please make some examples?
We should already be matching on partial words, for example I can find this tab by typing "wit mak" because matches on "make....with"

Fox example I'd like to search for "xps14" to match "XPS 14". Probably like putting ".*" between each character if expressed as a regex. I wasn't aware of the partial words. That is helpful to know too.

Flags: needinfo?(manuel)

We're unlikely to add regular expression matching in the address bar, but we are actively looking into partial matching so that we can find similar results more easily.
