[![Lightspeed search built for devs | Don MacKinnon on the future of content search](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/VFlLRH3ifcM/maxresdefault.jpg)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFlLRH3ifcM)

Spent the day working through [Lightspeed search built for devs | Don MacKinnon
on the future of content search](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFlLRH3ifcM),
this episode of the changelog about searchcraft.  It was really interesting,

Then found this demo loading all of wikipedia and getting really sick search
results out of it!
