Ohh good catch, I think I missed it. Thanks for the note :)

You're right, string-based queries are very expressive. I intentionally avoided that here so readers could focus on how FTS indexes work internally. Adding a full query system would have shifted the focus away from the internals. If yo

Got to admit, initial impressions, this is pretty neat, would spend sometime with this. Thanks for the link :)

tysm, would try pairing it with HNSW and IVF, halfway through :)

Ohh, I thought that inline comments would make it grokkable and be a low-friction way in. Seems this didn’t land the way I intended :' Should a multi-part blog would've been better?

> comment blocks inside codebase Is vibe-commented a thing yet? :D Wanted to give fellow readers a good on-ramp for understanding the FTS internals. Figured leaning into readability wouldn’t hurt For me this makes the structure super eas

Observation is spot on. Biword matching would definitely ease this. Stealing bi-word matching for a future iteration, tysm :D

Mostly wanted a refresher on GPU accelerated indexes and Vector DB internals. And maybe along the way, build an easy on-ramp for folks who want to understand how these work under the hood

Thanks! Honestly, given it's hacked together in a weekend not sure it’d measure up to Lucene/Bleve in any serious way. I intended this to be an easy on-ramp for folks who want to get a feel for how FTS engines work under the hood

I’m learning the internals of FTS engines while building a vector database from scratch. Needed a solid FTS index, so I built one myself :) It ended up being a clean, reusable component, so I decided to carve it out into a standalone projec

Because running a three-account bot‑net farm is fun :D Okay, jk, please don’t mod me out. One’s for browsing HN at work, the other’s for home, and the third one has a username I'm not too fond of. I’ll stick to this one :) I might ha
