@martin the search feature of Station is really great. How do you implement it?

@acidus @krixano Yeah, pretty much this. The FTS part is a hand-rolled The Simplest Thing That Could Possibly Work solution (where it constructs a large [but fast] query for the search terms againts the posts usernames). I'll refactor it to use SQLite's FTS once it becomes too slow, but benchmarks show it has a lot of life in it yet :) · 2 years ago

It looks to me like he's doing some type of FTS on both posts and replies, unioning those results together, and then ordering from newest to oldest.

I would also like to know more specifics :D · 2 years ago
