+     "Most other fuzzy matchers sort based on the length of a match.  fzy tries
+to find the result the user intended.  It does this by favouring matches on
+consecutive letters and starts of words.  This allows matching using acronyms
+or different parts of the path.
+
+fzy is designed to be used both as an editor plugin and on the command
+line.  Rather than clearing the screen, fzy displays its interface directly
+below the current cursor position, scrolling the screen if necessary.")
