gollark: And it has a fuzzy matcher module which could be connected to the search bit if you had a custom tokeniser.
gollark: Its tokeniser does stemming a bit but that isn't true fuzzy searching.
gollark: Not fuzzy searching, no. It has all the bits you need but to use them you need either accursed hacks or use of irritating bits of the C API not exposed by wrappers.
gollark: Given that the merely semiworking search thing I have is ⅓ the size of the Minoteaur backend code it will likely continue to use the SQLite search forever.
gollark: Unfortunately SQLite's search capabilities are good but inflexible unless I manually deal with its C API.
