The process to configure fuse.js similar to how it is set up in VS Code may vary depending on your specific use case, but here are the general steps you can follow:

1. Install Fuse.js library using npm or yarn:

npm install fuse.js

or

yarn add fuse.js

1. Import Fuse.js into your code:

const Fuse = require('fuse.js');

1. Define your search options such as the search keys (properties of the object you want to search), search threshold, and the type of search algorithm you want to use. For example:

const options = {
  keys: ['name', 'description'],
  threshold: 0.5,
  includeScore: true,
  useExtendedSearch: true,
  tokenize: true,
  ignoreLocation: true,
  ignoreFieldNorm: true
};

1. Create a new instance of Fuse.js with the options you defined and pass in the data you want to search. For example:

const data = [
  { name: 'JavaScript', description: 'A lightweight, interpreted programming language.' },
  { name: 'Python', description: 'An interpreted, high-level, general-purpose programming language.' },
  { name: 'Java', description: 'A general-purpose programming language that is class-based, object-oriented, and designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible.' },
];

const fuse = new Fuse(data, options);

1. Use the search method of the fuse instance to perform the search, passing in the search query as a string. For example:

const query = 'lightweight programming language';
const result = fuse.search(query);
console.log(result);

This should give you an array of search results with each result containing the original data object and the search score (if includeScore option was set to true). You can then use this data to display the search results as needed.

You may need to adjust some of the options based on your specific use case, but these steps should help you get started with using Fuse.js for searching data similar to how it is set up in VS Code.
