superwhich
superwhich
is a cross-platform CLI tool that was initially meant to be a faster drop-in replacement for Windows' where
command but since it uses Jaro-Winkler distance to calculate the similarity between the strings it can be called a sort of "smart" which, it can handle some typos and highlights the section of the executables that matches the search pattern.
Installation

cargo install superwhich
- From GitHub:
cargo install --git https://github.com/DarkCeptor44/superwhich
