Fuzzy Search widget

The widget implements a fuzzy matching algorithm that can handle typos, making it easier for users to find relevant posts quickly.

Features:

Indexer: The application indexes all posts on DevGovGigs, making them searchable.
Stemming: The application uses stemming to improve search results by matching variations of the same word (e.g., search results for "programming" will also include results for "programmer").
Stop words filter: The application filters out common words such as "a", "an", and "the" from search queries to improve search accuracy.
Spellcheck: The application includes a spellcheck feature that suggests alternate spellings for search queries that don't match any results.
Search by author_id, post_type, name, description, labels: The widget allows users to conduct search results by various attributes of the post.
Quick load with few requests for search results: The widget loads search results quickly with a minimal number of requests to the blockchain.
InfiniteScroll for search result: The application includes an InfiniteScroll feature that loads additional search results as the user scrolls down the page.

Top Posts Widget

Currently, the DevGovGigs only shows posts in chronological order, which can make it difficult for users to find the most active posts. This widget introduces simple heuristics to determine which posts are the hottest. In addition, users can filter hot posts by the last 24 hours, week, and month.

Features

Heuristics: The widget can determine which posts are the hottest by various factors, such as the number of replies and likes, as well as the age of the post and the age of each reply it has.
Filters: Users can filter hot posts by the last 24 hours, week, and month. This allows users to see the most active posts within a specific time frame.
