alt Hacker NewsI indexed thousands of documents into a SQLite database with an FTS5 index, plugged it into DeepSeek v4 Flash and got better much better results than any other commercial solutions my company has tried in the past.
The trick was just to let the LLM come up with its own SQL queries for searching... and the results are impressive.
I'm now using this approach too, and it feels better than any sorting method I've used before. The only thing I'm thinking about now is: if the LLM makes a mistake, how can I provide feedback and verify it?
