Taxonomy
Cerdocyon was named by Hamilton-Smith (1839). It was assigned to Canidae by Hamilton-Smith (1839) and Carroll (1988).[2]
C. avius was about 80 centimetres (2.6 ft) long and probably had habits similar to those of its extant relative. Fossils of the species have been found in Baja California (Refugio Formation) and Venezuela.
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.
gollark: [REDACTED].
gollark: FTS5 uses inverted index™ technology.
gollark: Yep! It has to linear-scan through all rows of the database to check.
