I'm on here looking for text indexers and everything is 'lightning fast exoscale terafloops that scales to enterprise quantawarbles with polytopplic performanations' and it would be great if this industry could breathe into a bag until it remembers that one person with one computer is a constituency that matters.

@mhoye Do you want recommendations for your text-indexers question?

In the full text search department:
Take a look at melisearch (https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch)
or Apache solr (https://solr.apache.org/guide/solr/latest/index.html), which is like elastic search but without all the licensing kerfuffle

@4censord I do, thank you. My goals here are minimalism of implementation and wholly-local computation.

@mhoye ah, both of these are not what i would consider minimalist. Melisearch is smaller than solr, but especially solr has all the enterprise features of an enterprise java project from the 2000-ends.

Also, both run as a separate service that your application connects to, instead of being build into your application.

If you rather have something that is build into your application, maybe the full text search sqlite module is better suited. (https://www.sqlite.org/fts5.html)
