Ask HN: How can I implement full-text search enginge

This video provides a basic overview: https://archive.org/details/ucberkeley_webcast_WLpvUGjvmXc and there's more in the next video https://archive.org/details/ucberkeley_webcast_QNce8cVeoeA The highlight is that "information retrieval" is the CS term for full text search. So the better wikipedia page is, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_retrieval.

Great for a learning exercise. For a production environment, it's unlikely the organization is such a snow flake. A mature product is probably a better engineering choice than writing one from scratch when you're writing your first one.

A DDG search for "Text search engine python tutorial" find articles like http://aakashjapi.com/fuckin-search-engines-how-do-they-work... .

There's a textbook at https://nlp.stanford.edu/IR-book/information-retrieval-book.... .

These should be enough hints so you can find something closer to what you are looking for.
