Research

No action required, add more search solutions as desired. Ideally this should be a solution that is an example, that other apps can follow and implement, OR an SDK feature that we build into the SDK / service, that apps can use directly

I found Stork https://stork-search.net/ -- interesting because WebAssembly. From Github https://github.com/jameslittle230/stork:

Stork is two things. First, it's an indexer: it turns your loosely-structured content and builds a search index from that content. Second, it's a Javascript + WebAssembly frontend for that index; Stork will download the index, search through it, and display the best results immediately to your user, as they type. The precomputed index and WebAssembly frontend module make the entire Stork engine very good, and very fast.

For public web apps, indexing the content automatically so that search can be trivially added would be very interesting.

Current mode of operation is running "locally".
