		binarymax on Nov 24, 2022 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Ask HN: Books about full text search? “Relevant search” by Doug Turnbull and John Berryman, published by Manning, is THE best book to get started with tuning search engines. I’be been a search engineer for >10 years and this is always the first book I recommend. https://www.manning.com/books/relevant-search

Before I read your book, I thought, "I know all about search!"

After I read it...

"...I knew NOTHING about search."

No book has ever knocked me off my pedestal so brutally and so thoroughly.
