Meilisearch is neat together with their tokenizer lib they use. More practically DocSearch is great for plug and use solution. Tantivy, Quickwit & Edgesearch are interesting too.
Use Lyra for doing browser side searches. classes.wtf is great implementation of fast search.
Spyglass is nice too for crawling & indexing various web services.
- If you’re implementing search please understand that using quotes means “find this literal text”.
- 10 years from now, google search will be a fraction of what it is today. it will only be used for objective search (e.g. medical advice, how to fix a flat tire, finding the best plumber). All subjective search will be done on social platforms with hyper-personalized algorithms.
