Not sure if the OP will see this, but thanks! I was looking for an introduction to building basic FTS just last week, and didn't find anything at the right level for me - this article was absolutely perfect to understand the basics.
Not sure if you intend to write more articles, but I'd love to see this turned into a series where you gradually add different capabilities and techniques (e.g. using tries)
- dstick 6y agoHave a look at ElasticSearch. I was taken aback by how fast it was performing complicated full text queries in a dataset of 300 million web pages. It was essentially a matter of scrape - clean (remove HTML) - index (add to the DB) - search. Easy as that. If you have prior experience with JS and scraping it should be a day’s work for the basics. The documentation is really well done and easy to follow and the API is intuitive.
