💖 Search::GIN 💖

okay bestie, so this is Search::GIN — it's a Perl module, and it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of your man pages. pull up a chair, we're gonna talk about indexing and it's gonna be cute, I promise 🎀

✨ VERSION ✨

version 0.11 — that's the one, that's the vibe check result, she passed 👑

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so. Inverted Indexing is literally an indexing method that maps from content to location in storage. like, you hand it the thing, it hands you back where the thing is. iconic behavior honestly.

and then there's Generalized Inverted Indexing — GIN for short, and yes the acronym ate 💅 — which is an inverted indexing method where the index is unaware of what data exactly is it indexing. she's mysterious. she doesn't need to know. she just indexes. main character energy fr fr.

Search::GIN is primarily used by KiokuDB for custom indexing. so if you're out here in KiokuDB land wanting your own lil indexing situation, this is the one. 🦋
