senile VS milli

I just finished all my to-dos on my project senile. Available via crates.io, Arch AUR and Dockerhub. It recursively scans your files and collects + interprets your structured ToDo statements. It then outputs it as JSON to STDOUT. You can even specify multiple allowed formats for the ToDo statements. https://github.com/replicadse/senile Feedback appreciated. I am already using it in my company/team and it has become quite useful already.

Is this a posting list? There is a lot of bioinformatics in this post, but if I squint, some of the problems do look like general information retrieval problems. Even the discussion of ordering the arrays by mass sounds like search relevance scores and makes me wonder if it makes sense to try to get something off the shelf like meillisearch/milli or tantavy to support this use case.

I'm currently not using any tool, although I am playing around with binding Milli and the most up-to-date Mentat fork to emacs with emacs-module-rs.

Yeah, we have already done that, the internal engine is called milli and could even be published on crates.io one day! The issue is with the design of the storage system itself, we use LMDB right now but maybe we can find another way to index faster and to be more oriented to distributed systems.

They have another prototype engine with more advanced features and performance too.

You can look at the milli repository this is the library that we use and work on. MeiliSearch is the HTTP actix-web based server that serves the milli indices.

This library is the main bottleneck of the new MeiliSearch search engine. We will soon release a beta version, keep watching!

Working on the new MeiliSearch engine, reworked from scratch! There already is excellent external contributions 🎉
