Thanks! Search wasn’t the most difficult problem here. I found SQLite’s FTS5 to be quite powerful. Later combined with Tantivy, I think it’s a superb combination to tackle pretty much any local search needs.
I ask because in my own project I have my own search query grammar [0] written in Lezer that more or less "transpiles" [1] to SQL+FTS5 that's been uh, tedious to build.

[1] https://github.com/AlexErrant/Pentive/blob/main/shared-dom/src/language/query2sql.tsSince I built this application in an exploratory manner (branching out without a larger architectural design), it often became unwieldy for a solo hobbyist like myself.
Plus, I wasn’t able to really get going with user feedback. Reached out to family, friends and colleagues but faced the Windows roadblock and got demotivated. In the end, built it for myself and used it by myself. I am happy with that!
