Very cool! How does this differ algorithmically from the trigram based search that everything uses from google code search from like 20 years ago?

And continuing off of that theme in practical terms how does it stand up against zoekt?

I’m curious because zoekt is kind of slow when it comes to ingesting large amounts of code like all of the publicly available code on GitHub

The few people using that commercially have basically had to spend a lot of time rewriting parts of it to make their goal of public codesearch for all attainable.

I and a few people I know are pretty convinced that there are better and easier ways / technologies to make that happen.
