I wonder if the author considered pgLite as a layer on top of IndexedDB?

Full postgres querying, and you could even share indexes across devices if you did something with ElectricSQL and a central server.

Seems like the author really wants to build a search engine and not use something that exists already.

This post https://www.parse.ly/lucene/ provides a great insight into the value of file system use when writing inverted indices that perform well.
