Ever thought about why most Web3 applications rely on centralized indexing services? Here's the thing—BM25, the battle-tested ranking algorithm powering modern search engines, is now available directly inside PostgreSQL. This changes the game for developers.

The immediate win? You don't need to spin up external search infrastructure anymore. Everything stays within your database layer. Relevance-ranked text search, real ranking capabilities, zero external dependencies. That's a massive shift from the traditional approach where developers had to ship data elsewhere just to get decent search functionality.

For anyone building decentralized applications, this means simpler architecture, lower operational overhead, and more control over your data pipeline. Worth paying attention to.
