How to automatically change to the first matching directory using fuzzy search and cd?
I want the `cd` command to automatically change to the first directory that matches a fuzzy search, without prompting me to select between multiple options.

This is what I've tried:

```bash
cd() {
    local dir="$1"
    local selected_dir
    selected_dir=$(find . -depth 1 -type d 2>/dev/null | fzf +m -q "$dir" --height 40% --reverse --select-1)
    builtin cd "$selected_dir"
}
```

This prompts me to select between different directories but I want to change automatically to the first match.
