Description

Hello,

Obviously, this crate was designed to operate as a server, but there are a lot of cases where embedding it into an application make sense:

  • using it in your own servers
  • using it for a desktop application
  • perhaps even compiling to WASM and using it on the front-end (e.g. with seed-rs)

There are nice reusable modules, such as the lexer, stopwords and the fst dependencies.

How feasible is it to split sonic into a library and a server that's based on that library?

I know about tantivy, but I think this crate would be great for this too
