I did something similar but based on matching abbreviations:

https://github.com/micouy/kn

For example

    kn pho/eutri

to enter photos/europe_trip. It doesn't track frecency or anything, just matches strings. My algorithm is also used in nushell's cd command.

kn also supports multiple dots:

    kn ..  # enters parent
    kn ... # enters grandparent

etc.
