To be honest, I thought that sqlite was already doing that. I do a search and it finds words deep in the body of the content field, so I assume that everything's working as it should.

I'm resistant to the idea of implementing ElasticSearch though because this is a small project designed for a small amount of data. I can't think of a case where you'd need anything more impressive than a simple database to search all of the stuff that would ever need to go in there. There's no multi-user required, and performance on a small data set isn't really a problem. In other words, ES is an additional moving part in a system that should be easy so I'm not thrilled about including it.

With that said though, if you can send me a pull request that can make it work without ElasticSearch as well as with it, then I'd merge it happily. But if you're asking me if I have any plans to personally do that work, that'd be a no.

Elasticsearch would become an additional moving part also there would be an operational overhead of maintaining elasticsearch server. I think sqllite should suffice here.
