Pg_bm25: Rust-based full text search engine in Postgres

Hey HN - lead dev on pg_bm25 here. To provide a bit more context: the goal of pg_bm25 is to make BM25-based full text search feel native to Postgres. pg_bm25 is built on Tantivy, a Rust-based alternative to Apache Lucene. We've integrated Tantivy into Postgres as a native index type and introduced a custom SQL operator for executing search queries.

i think this is a great idea. discovered tantivy some while ago and thought "wow, if this would be a pg extension: game changer". luckily there is a brave team who is doing this especially I like the idea that I can now calculate embeddings right away in postgres. so far I had to write custom scripts for it. wondering when I can provide my custom model. that's quite a common requirement.
