Haven’t seen Bitcoin connect but will add it to the list of research. The latter seems important. Is there any experience in particular you’re looking for?

This is the Bitcoin Connect we're talking about and I am currently working on that here.

But you can take a look at the existing code if you want :)

I'll leave it for you to make things simpler but ask if help is needed :)

Maybe we should expose post/comment IDs so you can directly search for those. Search is hard so not sure what SN is using currently for it. Probably the built in stuff on Postgres.

Probably the built in stuff on Postgres.

I can see why you might have guessed that (to keep things simple, for example) but we're using OpenSearch. Here is the connection code and we have a worker that indexes items in the background.

I think improving the search would be a very nice feature if you want to work on a feature.

This ticket is already a little refined and thus might be good to pick up in that case: Enhance search with quotation mark advanced search syntax

Good idea using OpenSearch. Typically for search, having something separate is far better. Thanks for all the resources, I'll look at this to see if it's something I can do.
