Summary of the new feature / enhancement

I would love to see a richer set of terminal focused UI commands so I can ship scripts that are more friendly to use for users, without requiring them to pull in a lot of dependencies.

Ever since the release of fzf (https://github.com/junegunn/fzf), fuzzy search in a terminal is a core interaction for any application where I want a less than perfect answer. Say I want to find a file in a folder or search through git branches, fuzzy search allows me to pass in related characters in hope that I might discover what I’m looking for.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Implement a Find-ItemFuzzy or Get-Item -Interactive that users can pipe entries into / pass in an arg to for fuzzy searching through a list of values.

There have been a few requests for fuzzy features and they generally suggest they should be implemented as PSGallery modules.

there is a fairly new module, PowerShellRun

it's very nice and has alot of configuration options.

It does support piping a filelist into it to use the fuzzy search Invoke-PSRunSelector
