Great results! Refreshing to see a project that actually went the extra mile and built the core search engine in C++ from scratch, unlike most similar projects that just wrap an existing library.

Testing on 5GB of data fully resident in ram is a terrible comparison. Things get hard when you're in the hundreds of gigabytes or more.
