gollark: Anyway, SQLite documents it, but the basic idea is that you have a table like this```sqlCREATE TABLE thing ( token TEXT NOT NULL, document_id INTEGER NOT NULL);```so when you look up "bees" it searches for the token "bees" in there using an index and retrieves the resulting document.
gollark: [REDACTED].
gollark: FTS5 uses inverted index™ technology.
gollark: Yep! It has to linear-scan through all rows of the database to check.
gollark: - slower- does not normalize tokens- no snippet/highlight- no advanced query support
