I don't understand why you wouldn't simply provide SQL with requisite security precautions. Do you really need more?

- tomjakubowski 5mo agoA duckdb backend that can query something like Sourcebot would be swell.
- kaiokendev 5mo agoGoogle Search used to essentially be this, then they had to tack on finnicky AI systems to handling the parsing of unstructured queries, and that was a cost/time sink that swung the pendulum over to fully AI-native search. This is the pendulum swinging back the other way with a new generation of UX designers. And it'll swing back eventually, too.
- 10000truths 5mo agoSQL was designed with tabular data and a relational model in mind, and free-form documents have neither of those properties. You can shoehorn full-text search functionality into SQL - that's what the likes of MySQL/PostgreSQL/SQLite do - and it's good enough in cases where search isn't a core competency. But it's awkward to use and subject to the limitations of a syntax catered to declarative queries and rigid schemas.
