gollark: 0.4% false positive rate, which is probably fine.
gollark: No, it's "this term/nearby term pair probably existed in the document".
gollark: If someone looks up "bee deployment methodology", then it needs to be able to search for those words together and not just a document containing "bee", "deployment" and "methodology".
gollark: No, it's for nearness queries in documents.
gollark: I picked it because cooler™ and there were too many Rust bloom filter libraries.
