Notes
  1. Official descriptions for Shouta Aoi's discography lists his work released under the name "Showta" as separate from his current work. "Virginal" is Aoi's 7th single overall, but official descriptions list it as his debut single.[1][2]
gollark: Run a CGI server of some kind?
gollark: Eßentially, finding *any match* is easy via bitsets, but finding the *best* match requires actually looking at each document to find the term frequency (and maybe term positions), which sounds slow.
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.
