gollark: Eßentially, finding *any match* is easy via bitsets, but finding the *best* match requires actually looking at each document to find the term frequency (and maybe term positions), which sounds slow.
gollark: Hmm. I'm not actually sure how to fastly™ do ranking of search results for this.
gollark: I like how crates.io has an excellent collection of highly optimized algorithms for things which I will inevitably use in a ridiculously slow way by accident.
gollark: I'm unsure of exactly where to put the term frequency data, which is important for ranking, or how to rank based on word nearness whatsoever.
gollark: I found an efficient and fairly low-storage way to store some of the inverted index data (specifically "does this term occur or not").
