Description

When searching for a resource and it's not found, we should use fuzzy matching to return possible matches like if the user made a typo.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the resource-search entry point and the existing not-found handling, then determine how fuzzy matching should select possible matches; done means a search with a typo returns useful alternatives when the exact resource is absent.
