This is very good. Super snappy and gives me what I'm looking for. Great write-up too. How much more would it cost to use a multilingual tokeniser? I realise this is somewhat pointless for an English blog, but services like Uber Eats have something like that going on (server-side of course, and they may just be translating queries).
