I have to reply just because this is so bizarre. Just last night I had been conceptualising a product just like this in my head... right down to the “viewer” nodes which are a representation of their children. However I was thinking that instead of having a rich text node you would have a viewer node and each paragraph, heading could be its own node.
Wow. I’ve spent the last three weeks building a custom search solution in Kotlin - in my case I’m using tokenizers from Lucene and using a radix trie as an index. I actually looked at using Bleve (another rust search lib) initially but it didn’t have the right language support
Glancing over this it looks like a nearly perfect fit for my use case I just wish I had seen this a couple of weeks earlier!
Far from it, search sucks nowadays. Just think about how hard it is to find stuff from Twitter, reddit etc, even though that's where most of the content is.
And if you don't know what you want exactly, you can't find anything.
Google is a public service to search the internet. This product and thread is more about adding search functionality to other applications and private data.
