History

Carona was originally called Carbona, because the area was rich with coal[3] and coal is a carbon-based fuel.

A post office was opened in Carona in 1905, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1988.[4]

gollark: SQLite also stores the position of tokens and has a stats table tracking frequency in all documents and such for better ranking.
gollark: It uses porter stemming to normalize "bee" and "bees" into "bee".
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.
