You'll need to license it if you want others to consider using it.
Ohh good catch, I think I missed it. Thanks for the note :)

This is pretty interesting.
Could you explain more why you avoided parsing strings to build queries? Strings as queries are pretty standard for search engines. Yes, strings require you to write an interpreter/parser, but the power in many search engines comes from being able to create a query language to handle really complicated and specific queries.
You're right, string-based queries are very expressive. I intentionally avoided that here so readers could focus on how FTS indexes work internally. Adding a full query system would have shifted the focus away from the internals.
If you notice there are vv obvious optimizations we could make. I’m planning to collect them and put a these as code challenges for readers, and building string-based queries would make a great one :)

Human intelligences, please start saying:
(A)I wrote a $something in $language.
Give credit where is due. AIs have feelings too.

Ohh boi, that’s exactly how the movie "Her" started! XD

Shameless plug, you may wish to do Lucene-style tokenizing using the Unicode standard: https://github.com/clipperhouse/uax29/tree/master/words
Got to admit, initial impressions, this is pretty neat, would spend sometime with this. Thanks for the link :)

Another possible tell (not saying this is vibe coded) is when every function is documented, almost too much comments
Ohh, I thought that inline comments would make it grokkable and be a low-friction way in. Seems this didn’t land the way I intended :'
Should a multi-part blog would've been better?
