Research direction

Start by reading the mini.starter module and its current H.is_item_active query path. Determine how a configurable is_item_active function should interact with the existing default behavior, then verify that custom callbacks can change item activation without affecting users who leave the option unset.

Description

Mini.starter intentionally doesn't support fuzzy finding. However, allowing users to provide an "is item active" function would allow users to modify the query process themselves to add fuzzy-like functionality without impacting the design of starter. Is this a feature that might be considered?

A simple implementation would just be to allow starter's config to accept an is_item_active property that, when set, would override H.is_item_active.
