Hi I am trying to make a search engine in excel using a fuzzy percent string function. My database has like around 200 names of excel files. Next to the hyperlinks, there is data about the excel file like certain topics it covers.

I want my search engine to give the most accurate results based on the topics being searched. I might want to type more than keyword so it should return the most accurate files based on those two,three,etc. separate topics. I would like to know if using fuzzy percent matching in an excel search engine is a good idea?
