Postgres just leveled up its search game. Tiger Data has open-sourced pg_textsearch, bringing production-grade full-text search capabilities directly into Postgres. The kicker? BM25 ranking algorithms are now baked into the database layer itself.

This matters more than it sounds. For blockchain developers building indexing solutions, query layers, and data infrastructure—having robust search built into Postgres could simplify everything. No more spinning up separate search engines just to query on-chain data or complex smart contract interactions. The search efficiency gains from BM25 optimization mean faster, smarter data retrieval.

It's one of those quiet infrastructure upgrades that doesn't make headlines but shapes how the next wave of Web3 tools actually work behind the scenes.
