alt Hacker NewsI've used https://lunrjs.com/guides/getting_started.html briefly and it has lots of options for things like different fields, complex queries, fuzzy searching and wildcards. Didn't notice anything specific about dates but you could always add date as a field then filter out a date range manually at the end. I'm sure there's better libraries now as well.
We've gone from SSGs for ease, speed and reduced resources, to talking about implementing search with multiple megabyte client side indexes and hundereds of thousands of prerendered search result pages.
When does this become 1 step forward with the SSG and 2 steps back with search solutions like this?
