We have the charlesreid1/fake-docs repo as a submodule of this repo.
alpha: simple markdown index
alpha: phase 1: build a simple search engine index for a pile of markdown files.
important notes:
- there are many ways to implement a search query
- when you create your schema you truly define everthing about the documents - including what is stored.
metadata in search:
-
to access metadata in a search, it must be STORED. example: when you do the search, if you want to have highlighting, every record should store its own full text.
-
alternatively, if the data can be obtained some other way on-the-fly, that would save memory/space.
