+## Dev Notes
+
+### Search
+
+- SQLite supports full-text search via the built-in FTS5 extension, which is enabled by default and loaded in the Elixir Driver.
+  The extension requires building a virtual table that holds the data to be searched. This seems to be akin to a materialized view.
+- To have fuzzy search, another extension needs to be loaded.
+  [Exqlite](https://github.com/elixir-sqlite/exqlite?tab=readme-ov-file) recommends using [ExSqlean](https://github.com/mindreframer/ex_sqlean),
+  which in turn uses [Sqlean](https://github.com/mindreframer/sqlean), but the extension is NOT part of the ExSQlean set.
+  Need to investigate with forking and PR.
