Bayard: a full-text search and indexing server written in Rust

I see the author did the same search engine in Go a while ago. So I suppose the project being a side project to learn a new language. Or is there a different reason?

Perhaps. But the author Minoru Osuka ain't nobody[1]. He is

- Engineer at Mercari, Inc.

- Committer at Apache Software Foundation

- Co-author of a Apache Solr book in Japanese

- Ex-Yahoo! JAPAN

- Ex-Rakuten

So yeah, I think he knows what he's doing.

That is a good observation. The author might also need flexible search options at work. In any case, I have some interest in Rust but don’t actively use it. I found reading through the main server.rs file interesting as example code.
