gollark: Hmm. I'm not actually sure how to fastly™ do ranking of search results for this.
gollark: I like how crates.io has an excellent collection of highly optimized algorithms for things which I will inevitably use in a ridiculously slow way by accident.
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.
