> **🤖 This project was built entirely by AI.**
>
> The idea was simple: could an AI agent beat [RapidFuzz](https://github.com/maxbachmann/RapidFuzz) — one of the fastest fuzzy matching libraries in the world — by writing a Rust-backed Python library from scratch, guided only by benchmarks?
>
> The development loop was: **Research → Build → Benchmark → Repeat.**

**rustfuzz** is a blazing-fast fuzzy string matching library for Python — implemented entirely in **Rust**. 🚀

Zero Python overhead. Memory safe. Pre-compiled wheels for every major platform.

## The Challenge: Beat RapidFuzz

    style BM fill:#22c55e,color:#fff,stroke:none
    style RP fill:#f59e0b,color:#fff,stroke:none
```

The goal: match or exceed RapidFuzz's throughput on `ratio`, `partial_ratio`, `token_sort_ratio`, and `process.extract` — all from Python. Each iteration starts with profiling, identifies the hottest path, and rewrites it deeper into Rust.

### The Results: RustFuzz is Faster 🏆

We benchmarked `process.extract` on a **1,000,000 row** corpus. Thanks to zero-overhead Rayon parallelization, lock-free global threshold shrinking (`AtomicU64`), and native query token caching, `rustfuzz` officially outperforms `rapidfuzz`.

| Benchmark (1M rows) | RapidFuzz | RustFuzz (Parallel) |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Raw Characters (`ratio`) | `5506 ms` | **`5253 ms`** |
| Complex Tokens (`WRatio`) | `3032 ms` | **`2716 ms`** |

*But that's not all*. By utilizing the built-in **BM25 Hybrid Pipeline**, `rustfuzz` can complete the identical extraction task in a revolutionary **`97 ms`** (a ~30x speedup over state-of-the-art fuzzy matching!).

## Installation

```sh
pip install rustfuzz
# or, with uv (recommended — much faster):
uv pip install rustfuzz
```

## Quick Start

```python
import rustfuzz.fuzz as fuzz
from rustfuzz.distance import Levenshtein

# Fuzzy ratio
print(fuzz.ratio("hello world", "hello wrold"))          # ~96.0

# Partial ratio (substring match)
print(fuzz.partial_ratio("hello", "say hello world"))    # 100.0

# Token-order-insensitive match
print(fuzz.token_sort_ratio("fuzzy wuzzy", "wuzzy fuzzy")) # 100.0

# Levenshtein distance
print(Levenshtein.distance("kitten", "sitting"))         # 3

# Normalised similarity [0.0 – 1.0]
print(Levenshtein.normalized_similarity("kitten", "kitten")) # 1.0
```

### Batch extraction

```python
from rustfuzz import process

choices = ["New York", "New Orleans", "Newark", "Los Angeles"]
print(process.extractOne("new york", choices))
# ('New York', 100.0, 0)

print(process.extract("new", choices, limit=3))
# [('Newark', ...), ('New York', ...), ('New Orleans', ...)]
```

## Supported Algorithms

| Module | Algorithms |
|--------|------------|
| `rustfuzz.fuzz` | `ratio`, `partial_ratio`, `token_sort_ratio`, `token_set_ratio`, `token_ratio`, `WRatio`, `QRatio`, `partial_token_*` |
| `rustfuzz.distance` | `Levenshtein`, `Hamming`, `Indel`, `Jaro`, `JaroWinkler`, `LCSseq`, `OSA`, `DamerauLevenshtein`, `Prefix`, `Postfix` |
| `rustfuzz.process` | `extract`, `extractOne`, `extract_iter`, `cdist` |
| `rustfuzz.search` | **`BM25` (Okapi)**, **`BM25L`**, **`BM25Plus`**, **`BM25T`** |
| `rustfuzz.utils` | `default_process` |

### The BM25 Search Engines

`rustfuzz.search` implements lightning-fast Text Retrieval mathematical variants. The core differences:
- **`BM25` (Okapi)**: The industry standard. Employs term frequency saturation (logarithmic decay) and document length normalization.
- **`BM25L`**: Focuses on **length** penalization corrections. Introduces a static term shift `delta`, guaranteeing that matching terms yield a minimum baseline score even in massive documents where normalisation would normally suppress them.
- **`BM25Plus`**: Also creates a lower-bound for any given matching term, but applies the shift *after* term saturation. Widely considered the best default for highly mixed-length corpuses.
- **`BM25T`**: Introduces *Information Gain* adjustments to dynamically calculate the saturation limit `$k_1$` per term, restricting dominant variance. **`rustfuzz` hyper-optimises this by pre-computing term limits natively within the inverted index.**
