echo '' | fzf --preview 'jq {q} < filename.json'

it live updates the results as you type!

I am deeply unamused to see a peer-reviewed paper discussing one of my pet nightmares (the risk of a MERS/COVID19 hybrid emerging) and saying it's somewhere between possible and likely: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41392-023-01396-6
