Full-text search is everywhere and it is also back at FOSDEM this year.
The more data and interconnected systems you have, the more you need powerful search systems. And while databases commonly get a lot of attentions, search engines are often underrepresented. This room gives full-text search the spotlight it deserves. Luckily there are plenty of open source implementations in this area and possible topics include:
- What is the state of full-text search in relational databases such as PostgreSQL or MySQL?
- How are search libraries like Apache Lucene evolving?
- What are current improvements and issues in popular search engines such as Elasticsearch and Solr?
- What is the role of machine learning in search and how do you even measure search quality?
- Which new systems are entering the search market?
- What is the place of client-side search tools like Fuse.js, Js Search, Lunr, and Elasticlunr.js?
- Are there any new break throughs or is BM25 good (enough)?
