tantivyr: Fast Full-Text Search for R with 'Tantivy'

Index data frames and document collections and run fast full-text search entirely on your machine. 'tantivyr' wraps the 'Tantivy' 'Rust' search engine (a 'Lucene'-inspired library) to provide 'BM25' ranking, structured filters, snippet highlighting and incremental updates over an on-disk or in-memory index. First-class support is provided for stemming and stop words in Portuguese and English, making it well suited to public documents, news clippings, extracted 'PDF' text, transcripts and legal acts.
