sounds like this word "inverted index" isnwhat most peoplenwould literally call "index". Inverted index sounds like a thing that would be entirely useless. Its same like "reverse kinematics" to me there is nothing "reverse" about it, it is in all poissible versions of the universe, the blatantly OBVIOUS way to do it

Isn’t this just an index?

I basically have a HashMap in NodeJS memory, response time is avg < 10ms 😇

My company uses mongo for full text search and for the money we pay to mongo atlas we could hire 2 engineers 💀

Well vector db's now looks better suited for such tasks. ES had to evolve fast. SQL Server just added vector search into engine.

I'm a 3rd year CS student from Zambia 🇿🇲 and for our software engineering coursework, our lecturer told us to build a system with on subsystem that stores documents(java API and SQL),the second subsystem also stores documents(Python API and SQL) and another subsystem that does the ranking and inverted indexing for those 2 storage subsystems..try this just like the guy in the video explained it's a good way to learn about ranking,inverted and the vector space model

Indexing=pre-search and store pointers. So the cost of indexing is high but it save the user waiting(cost) in the future. If documents frequently change then it may be too costly to index.

I mean, theres such a thing as gin index using tsvector results in exactly the same

A few years ago I implemented this to search any combination of full or partial words in a database of drugs (1.5 million drugs) and it scans in 1 or 2 seconds instead of several MINUTES!... I was young and proud of myself 😎

That method also paved the way to Ai LLM tgat we use today. Sort of

There no science in CS :
I’ve probably used this for about 4 different recommendations systems I’ve built for my team. O(n^2) time complexity with blocking and inverted indexing is a computational efficinecy godsend

Is this a percolator in elastic search? I have heard that term before

What’s up with the new semantic search or using vector embeddings with kNn or hybrid ?!

Correct me if I'm wrong please: A reverse index maps to the documents, and a vector maps to the location within a document?
