I'm curious if you ever tried MeiliSearch for this, I tried it recently for something unrelated and had a very good experience with it. Since you have the corpus already, it might be worth trying and seeing if it speeds search up? I'd be interested in the results either way.

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 other languages which in any case have few books transcribed to text in Gutenberg.

I will probably write a blog post once I've tried a few of the approaches suggested in this thread.

That would be great, thanks!
