Improve website search about simple-icons-website

This does beg the question of whether "fuzzy matching" and sorting by relevance are even necessary. Chances are pretty high visitors are searching for specific icons so should we instead return exact matches in alphabetical order?

I agree that bad matches can be a case against fuzzy matching and in favor of returning (something like) exact matches - I'm assuming you mean that the search query matches the start of the brand name - however, I do think it is very nice that the query "fcebook" gives me the icon of facebook. I would definitely be in favor of keeping "fuzzy matching" for that reason. Also, as a separate "data point", many code (and text?) editors have a functionality to search for and open a file based on its name, and though you (or at least I) typically know the name of the file it is nearly always implemented using fuzzy search. What do you think @PeterShaggyNoble?

I would expect we end up iterating over this issue a couple of times, but the above should be a good first step, I think.

sorting by relevance is definitely not necessary.
As a matter of fact sorting at all is not necessary. The icons should be presented sorted alphabetically and that's it, that's more than enough.

Regardless, I do think we should keep fuzzy search for the reasons @ericcornelissen explains.
