Milli-py: Python bindings for Milli, an embeddable high-performance search engine
The only other embeddable search engine I'm aware off, Whoosh, is brilliant but building the index was quite slow, and search performance degraded quite a lot as number of documents increase (performance is strictly a non-goal). Meilisearch was comparatively faster, I didn't like managing a server to get "just search" in my scripts and applications. However, their underlying engine Milli solves both issues I had, and all that was needed creating bindings for it.

Meilisearch v1.0 – the open-source Rust alternative to Algolia and Elasticsearch
Is it really "just a single statically linked binary"?
I'd love to use Meilisearch as you describe, but their so-called SDKs are just about for the search client, you still need the HTTP server listening on localhost.
I would love to see something like SQLite based off Meilisearch (i.e. a fully selfcontained library like https://github.com/mchaput/whoosh). Do you know if such a thing exists?

Faster Full Text Search
For our full text search, we used whoosh, which works pretty well for moderately big amount of data.

We upgraded an old, 3PB large, Elasticsearch cluster without downtime
Nearly a decade ago (oh god) I converted some overdesigned five node ES mess to https://github.com/mchaput/whoosh. It's (obviously) not the fastest or anything, but it was more than good enough for low-dozens of GBs of mostly static data.

Starting a KF Discord Bot
Your best bet is to start using a proper search library rather than the simple loop with 'in' checks that you have now. A search lib will handle things like Unicode/ASCII similarities, removal of stop words, stemming, TF-IDF (and other) weighting, etc. and will be massively faster as well. Quite a few pages come up if you Google "python search engine", also Whoosh looks promising.
What are some alternatives?
solrpy - Automatically exported from code.google.com/p/solrpy
Elasticsearch - Free and Open, Distributed, RESTful Search Engine
django-haystack - Modular search for Django
Search Engine Parser - Lightweight package to query popular search engines and scrape for result titles, links and descriptions
Whoosh
elasticsearch-dsl-py - High level Python client for Elasticsearch
query-builder - sql query builder library for crystal-lang
query.cr - Query abstraction for Crystal Language. Used by active_record.cr library.
esengine - ElasticSearch ODM (Object Document Mapper) for Python - pip install esengine
lunr.js - A bit like Solr, but much smaller and not as bright
