gollark: I'd do the spellfix thing for mild fuzziness but ææææ custom tokenizer stuff would be hard.
gollark: It's about as good as dokuwiki's search thus bee.
gollark: Well, I mostly just want to be able to look up documents containing certain phrases/words.
gollark: There's also also spellfix, so with some work you can interface that with the FTS query thing and handle synonyms/misspelled words.
gollark: There's also a trigram tokenizer which lets you do LIKE very fast.
