Chris Mair, 1006.org

Need better text search in your application, but not another piece of infrastructure to maintain?

In our May session, we’ll explore three practical ways to search text using a simple Postgres backend: full-text search, trigram similarity for keyword-based matching, and embedding vector search. The talk will introduce the basics of each approach, show how they can be implemented directly in Postgres, and compare the different scenarios in which they perform best. You’ll leave with a better understanding of which technique suits your application’s needs and a solid starting point for implementations.

Join us for a practical guide to modern text search – straight from your database!
