gollark: I'm unsure of exactly where to put the term frequency data, which is important for ranking, or how to rank based on word nearness whatsoever.
gollark: I found an efficient and fairly low-storage way to store some of the inverted index data (specifically "does this term occur or not").
gollark: Maybe it could index conespace too.
