Is there a way to configure fzf's "fuzziness"

[ivan94fi]

I like fzf for what it is, a fuzzy finder. However, from times to times I find that fzf returns too many matches, with some totally unrelated strings. For example while searching for sudo in bash history, one of the matches is:

diff 10-quirks.conf /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-quirks.conf
             ^       ^                       ^            ^

where the ^ symbols represent the highlighted matched characters.

I found the --exact configuration option, but this is too strict: I would like to tell fzf to ignore matches that are too different from the query, but keep the ones not too different.

I am thinking of some parameter corresponding to a threshold value on the distance of the returned string from the original query string, see for example the threshold option in Fuse.js, a Javascript fuzzy search library.

A threshold of 0 would mean to return an exact match, a threshold of 1 (or 100) would mean be as fuzzy as possible, show every single matching result, no matter how far from the query string.

Is this possible in fzf?

Thank You,
Ivan

Same thoughts.
I think it would be better experience if fzf could first return exact matches, then fuzzy.
