Suffix Trees for text indexing

Hi,

I would like to implement a suffix tree, to index text for interactive searches. The idea is that the user will start typing, and a list of results will be filtered down based on exact sub-string matches as they type. The wikipedia page for suffix trees is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suffix_tree.

Just wondering if there are any packages already available for this? The terms ‘suffix’, ‘PAT’ or ‘position’ don’t turn up anything obvious on Elm package search. There is however, a trie implementation which I could base this on: https://package.elm-lang.org/packages/rluiten/trie/latest/

Also, any other suggestions as to how to implement this kind of search are welcome. For example, can such a search be made more fuzzy?
