Note that some of that code is ancient, and could probably be organized
much better these days. (For example, using something like promises
instead of the hand-rolled quasi-cps thing for the search.) Worse, the
complication of the search is not really needed now: originally, the
search was lond enough to benefit from being interrupted by a new
character, but now it's fast enough to not even be noticed. Another
questionable feature is the loading of the whole index into memory and
searching through it (unless someone cleaned that out since then...).
Finally, the actual search has a bunch of not-too-organized hacks that
try to get expected results higher than others, and a bunch of features
(a query language) that practically no one knows about...
