I'd go as far as claiming that the WASM port of SQLite with FTS5 enabled makes SQLite the best general purpose client-side search engine currently on the market. And with the option to further customize it with custom tokenizers and auxilliary functions, you can do pretty advanced stuff with it, rivalling Lucene (not completely though, e.g. FTS5 does not store offsets, so highlighting is more expensive than in Lucene).
