Very interesting. I think it's nice to see an account of building something from scratch instead of using a library. Sometimes I spend more time searching for a suitable library than it would take to build it from scratch :D

We look forward to hearing from you!

Hey HN! We created this for internal use and had a bunch of people ask us to release it. So now we have! Would love to hear your feedback.

Thanks Tom! Max from Lateral here, we made the extension. We're using the Lateral API to recommend news, specifically the news recommender.

The news recommender pulls in content from various news sources RSS feeds and processes them so we can recommend them. So the curation is regarding the sources not the articles. We started collecting articles in November last year, there's actually over 330K now.

You can read a bit more about the news recommender here: https://lateral.io/docs/text-matching/pre-populated-recommen...

Just wanted to say, I implemented this change and it did really speed things up! Thanks a bunch :) This is the query I went with:

  SELECT d.id, d.meta FROM (
    SELECT id FROM data_rows, to_tsquery('query') AS q
    WHERE tsv @@ q ORDER BY ts_rank_cd(tsv, q) DESC LIMIT 5
  ) AS ids INNER JOIN data_rows d ON d.id = ids.id;

Thanks for the feedback! I tried out your suggestion by running the following:

  SELECT id, meta->>'title' as title, meta FROM(
    SELECT id, meta FROM (
      SELECT id, meta, tsv
      FROM data_rows, plainto_tsquery('search query') AS q
      WHERE (tsv @@ q)
    ) AS t1 ORDER BY ts_rank_cd(t1.tsv, plainto_tsquery('search query')) DESC LIMIT 5
  ) AS t2;

The table that we run this on has 220K rows with a size on disk of 1.8 GB. I mentioned in the post that we'd tried out this approach with 23 million rows which was slow! From our (limited) testing the speed holds up until around 1 to 2 million rows, at which point I'd suggest a dedicated solution.
