I work a lot with Terraform and spend a lot of time browsing the aws provider documentation and a pain point of the documentation website is the fuzzy search for resources and data.
The aws provider has so much resources and data definitions fuzzy search makes it painful to go promptly to what you are actually looking for.
Take `aws_vpc`, typing this in the search field in the aws provider docs currently yields 768 matches and it takes a lot of scrolling and eye focus to get to what you are looking for.
I wish to be able to configure (a checkbox ?) the search mechanism to switch from a fuzzy search to a basic `contains`, that would save me a lot of time.
In case it’s helpful in the meantime, I’ve noticed that it seems to be the “aws” prefix that causes the most grief because the search seems to be treating each part as a separate search term and all resource types have aws as part of their names.
If you remove the aws_ prefix when you search then the results tend to be considerably better. “vpc” is unfortunately still quite a broad search term that matches a lot of resource types, but far fewer than “aws_vpc” matches.
Putting the search query in quotes also seems to help. aws_vpc returns 771 results, while "aws_vpc" returns 80 results. (vpc alone returns 163 right now, so quoting seems like the best answer for this particular case.)
