Search Implementation Toolkit

Every app needs search, but choosing the right approach is hard. This skill covers 5 search backends (SQLite FTS5, PostgreSQL full-text, Elasticsearch, Typesense, Meilisearch) with a clear decision matrix, production-ready implementation patterns, and a drop-in React search component. Includes: column-weighted ranking, prefix/autocomplete queries, fuzzy matching with pg_trgm, faceted filtering, geo search, bulk indexing, sync triggers, caching strategies, and a pre-ship quality checklist. 21KB of battle-tested patterns — not theory, actual copy-paste code.
