Fuzzy search in app suite + translation

[realgooseman]

Hi @Goodwy,

Don't know if you're a solo developer or if it's a team. Regardless, amazing app suite!

Fuzzy search

One annoying thing I noticed with the dialer app is that the search is not very effective. It needs a precise search or has to start with exact country code to match a contact. Implementing fuzzy search in all of your calling/message related apps would improve overall experience.

This could be done by allowing to search for typed number chunk in full contact numbers for faster results and also ignore country codes because some numbers are saved without them.

For example in France the international country code is +33. People there have contacts saved in international country code format but some are also saved in national format (meaning the +33 international country code is replaced by a 0). Both work for calling the contact but depending if you saved contacts with international country code format or national format, they might or might not appear on the current Right Dialer's search results.

Translation panel

Setting up a translation panel like Crowdin or Weblate would allow the community to add and improve translation strings for the app. The submission is free for open source projects on both platforms, I find Crowdin to be easier to use.
