Description
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.

Research direction
Start by reviewing existing PowerShell command patterns for terminal-focused interaction and how the proposed Find-ItemFuzzy or Get-Item -Interactive could accept piped entries or arguments. Compare the requested behavior with fzf, then define the command scope, supported input, and completion criteria before implementation; the issue does not name files or tests.
