Elasticsearch-Quality Full-Text Search in Postgres via Tantivy

The first part of the talk will start with describing the current support for full-text search in Postgres. We'll then discuss what is missing (BM25, tokenization, facets, performance gaps) and why it needs to be better.

In the second part of the talk, we'll discuss how we solve these limitations by integrating Tantivy, an Apache Lucene-inspired library, into a Postgres extension named pg_search. We will then conclude with some examples and areas for future work by the community.
