I have a large table (>100K rows) that looks like this:

     Movie       |      Genres
--------------------------------------------------
Inception        | Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi
The Dark Knight  | Action, Crime, Thriller
The Godfather    | Crime, Drama

I'd like to filter the table as I type.

Performance: Until recently, I didn't think it's possible with a table of this size, but Everything is able to filter as I type over 1M files on my hard drive.

Filtering: Ideally, I'd like to have keywords. For example, m:dark AND g:cr would return all movies where one of the genres contains cr (Crime, in this case) and the title contains dark. And so on.

  • I've never seen anything that can do this without major performance issues, and if the table is hosted on SQLServer on a network resource, the performance goes down from there. Is there some specific reason that you want filtering done this way? – Jeff Zeitlin Mar 10 '18 at 19:08
  • @JeffZeitlin: The table will be hosted locally (on an SSD). I just wanted the tool to be more dynamic. I really like searching with Everything, it's a nice experience to see it filtered as I type. – Leo Mar 10 '18 at 20:12
  • postgresql fts is probably an easy option for you. or a search engine like elasticsearch – Jon Scott Mar 21 '18 at 8:27
