   Thanks for the details! I tried your search string but could not replicate the exact bug (either app not working at all, or your error message). What is your setup and connection speed? Please feel free to email me instead at contact@ if yo

   Interesting! I don't recall seeing this before, and the app otherwise held up to the HN hug of death which was unexpected given nothing is optimised. Can you recall the steps that led to the error?

   Thanks! I had the exact same problem and eventually it got me to do something about it. It is particularly bad with writers from antiquity or with a lot of popular appeal. I've begun adding to this repository, it'll come in piece

   An API is already on my roadmap! I couldn't quite figure the state of passing query parameters in the URL with Dash, though.

   And this is why the server is in Amsterdam, even though I have had good experiences with Hetzner in the past. I was quite sad to read about the case in 2018, and it is unfortunate that it is still not resolved.

   Thanks for the suggestions! I will try them next. > Looking at your where clause, did you index language and textsearchable_index_col together ? If not, you are giving the planner the opportunity to skip your full text index. Here is the

   Thanks! I would love for an experienced designer to join the project (and DevOps, and front end, and...). My email is in the profile.

   Thank you for your generous offer of help! I look forward to taking it up (may take a while as I'm about to move countries and quarantine). In particular I love that one of the examples in your comment history is in Latin as that langu

   Thank you for the suggestion! The demo looks great and I'm curious to see how they automatically handle language. It would be nice to add support for Chinese which is the great absent from this attempt, even at the cost of several othe

    Thanks! I really appreciate the pointers. I already had planned to explore some of these and you've expanded and directed the search nicely.

    Thanks! There's a workaround to the dropdown issue, see this other comment thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25890458

    Thank you for taking the time to lay out feature requests in such details! I really appreciate it. The current search box is a wrapper around Postgres phraseto_tsquery [1] whilst the Discovery tab uses plainto_tsquery, so you could play wit

    Thanks for the bug report! It has to do (I think) with Dash's columnar layout which unfolds the menu over the next few columns at least in Chrome. The quick workaround I found was to type out the language until it appears below and cli

    Thanks for noticing! To be more specific, "what is a" are stop words and "cynic" is very common, so a lot of rows are returned (see my other comment). ts_rank takes too long to rank them, and the server times out, leavin

    That was definitely part of the original plan! I spotted two other attempts [1] [2] here using BERT and ElasticSearch respectively. The main performance issue with the Postgres FTS approach (possibly also the others?) is ranking. Matching r
