Where exactly is said database?
The spreadsheet? I'd love to be able to drop alot of the answers on my site - but the spreadsheet is somewhat convoluted.
I've been working on it as well. It's difficult. The first few passes I took at it were impractical.
I dropped a note about it in the quest for searchability thread. The temp solution I came up with works but isn't great.
IMO, the BEST solution is going to cost money - of which I'm in short supply.

I tried doing it with Lunr which is a lightweight version of Solr.
I'm looking into https://xapian.org/
which looks promising. The price is right. I just need more time in the day to get it done.
I've got a metric ton of JSON data so we already have everything we need. If there's another codefag that has some time and would like to jump in I'm all for it.
I'll get back on it. Sorry anons - My ADD has been fucking me up bad lately.
