    Writing

    Mostly about the parts of a search engine that are boring from the outside: what the index leaves out, why ranking changed, and where a network request would have been convenient and was not made.

    1. Quarry 1.4: saved searches with live counts

      Quarry 1.4 adds live counts to saved searches and speeds up snippet extraction across the board.

    2. How the index stays small

      A look at the postings file and the snippet store, and why a Quarry index runs about 4% of the size of what it indexes.

    3. Searching ten years of notes

      A guide to setting up one Quarry index over an old notes archive: what to exclude, and which queries actually pay off.

    4. One network request

      What Quarry sends over the network: a single update check, and nothing else.

    5. A tour of the editor plugins

      What the VS Code and Neovim plugins do, what they deliberately leave out, and how they talk to Quarry.
