Hi ! this are a generic question about the search engine used by Discourse.
What are the rules used by the queries to the database - is it based on keyword or semantics ?
Would be feasible to implement a plugin to customize the search engine e.g using a Transformer DL model ?
Thanks in advance !

It’s using the built in Postgres search abilities, so you can look at Postgres docs on that as needed.
