Hello,

When hitting the backward key in the search input I got a "Cannot read property 'toLowerCase' of undefined" error.

I solved the issue with editing the findBestHint function when suggestion.value doesn't exist.

Thanks

Why would suggestion value be undefined?

I don't know exactly, I didn't try to understand why, but it happens when hitting the backward key and causes the error.

Thanks for this contribution, and apologies for the very long silence.

The project was dormant for several years and has just shipped v2.0, which is a ground-up TypeScript rewrite with a new build (esbuild), test runner (Vitest + jsdom), and CI pipeline. As a result this PR no longer applies cleanly against master, and the surrounding code it touches has changed enough that mechanically rebasing it wouldn't be safe.

I'm closing it as part of a triage pass on the long-stale PR backlog — not because the idea lacks merit. If this change is still valuable to you against 2.0, please open a fresh PR (or an issue first if you'd like to confirm direction); I'll review new submissions against the current codebase promptly.

Thanks again for taking the time.
