fclones VS tantivy

Install fclones (fdupes modern equivalent)

I said "fclone" I meant "fclones" (https://github.com/pkolaczk/fclones) -- I missed the "s" at the end

While we're recommending stuff, fclones: https://github.com/pkolaczk/fclones

fclones: Efficient Duplicate File Finder.

Yes, that would be safer when available (although generally files within library dependencies are not modified I think?). It looks like fclones implements this, is faster and is written in Rust https://github.com/pkolaczk/fclones (the last is the most important point of course /s).

Backend uses tantivy to index the web pages, sqlite3 to hold metadata / crawl queue

Tantivy is a very well made library and also follows alot of the best practices if you like search you'll like this: https://github.com/quickwit-inc/tantivy

tantivy - More of a search engine library than out of the box solution

Tantivy search engine.

You could try the Tantivy crate, with an n-gram tokenizer, which would split and index your text in sliding groups of n characters.

I had to look up the "tantivy" that README mentions. https://github.com/tantivy-search/tantivy. Might want to add a link to the project in your README.

We're using Rust for a domain-specific search engine. When I first learned Rust some years ago my first thought was that this language is perfect for heavy text processing. IMO, &str is that single killer feature that got me sold :) The search engine that we're building is based on https://github.com/tantivy-search/tantivy.

Well spotted. Like IPFS, there's a comment about that here: https://github.com/tantivy-search/tantivy/pull/1067#issuecomment-853139923 that points to the distributed wikipedia mirror project https://github.com/ipfs/distributed-wikipedia-mirror/issues/76
