Wow. I’ve spent the last three weeks building a custom search solution in Kotlin - in my case I’m using tokenizers from Lucene and using a radix trie as an index. I actually looked at using Bleve (another rust search lib) initially but it didn’t have the right language support

Glancing over this it looks like a nearly perfect fit for my use case I just wish I had seen this a couple of weeks earlier!

Bleve, from Couchbase, is in Go :-)

And that's why I believe that the search/discovery problem is not solved yet by google

Far from it, search sucks nowadays. Just think about how hard it is to find stuff from Twitter, reddit etc, even though that's where most of the content is.

And if you don't know what you want exactly, you can't find anything.

Google is a public service to search the internet. This product and thread is more about adding search functionality to other applications and private data.
