Thank you for your comment! It is indeed a problem in plain fuzzy search libraries (like this one) that substring matches can have a lower quality than unequal strings of similar length. A solution to that is to implement a higher level search controller that queries the fuzzy searcher, as well as a suffix array searcher. The controller than mixes the matches and returns the best matches across the two searchers. One can even add more searchers, e.g. a phonetic one. With the correct parameters this approach works well.
