    Not quite a comparable alternative. I use Pagefind and it's great for static sites but the search is all client side JS, there's no PHP (or otherwise) client to use it's generated index on the server.

    A comparable alternative might be TNTSearch: https://github.com/teamtnt/tntsearch though that requires some (common) PHP extensions to be available, which this library does not require.

    FWIW an alternative might be to have your endpoint perform the full text search server-side with something like https://github.com/teamtnt/tntsearch. No external search service required.

    While we're at it, would it be possible to store the index in the existing database instead of SQLite ? Wouldn't that allow for index syncing reliability (I hear there are file corruption problems ) ? And reducing the number of processes (no index queue) ?

    As you saw from the tutorial, adding a full-text search to your project is pretty straightforward. We covered only the tip of the iceberg here. TNTSearch is a powerful engine that can do a lot of stuff - even classification if that's something you might need. For more info, you can check out the GitHub documentation.
