If you’ve ever had the chance to implement search from scratch, you know how cumbersome it can be - until now. Meet Torus - an Elixir library that bridges PostgreSQL search and Ecto queries, abstracting away the nasty parts and letting you add semantic, similarity, pattern-matching, and full-text search with a single line of code added to your existing Ecto queries. At the end, I’ll show a live demo you can try yourself to see how easy it is to add Torus to your app!
