Spent the day working through [Lightspeed search built for devs | Don MacKinnon
on the future of content search](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFlLRH3ifcM),
this episode of the changelog about searchcraft. It was really interesting,

Then found this demo loading all of wikipedia and getting really sick search
results out of it!
