@brennen I think this would be a good small project for de-siloing phabricator stuff if you're interested in collaborating on this task in the coming quarter.

So the biggest difference that I can see between elastic and pherrit is that elastic supports highlighting the actual text that matched, with pherrit you don't see anything but the title of the matching documents.

@brennen: I've submitted a revision ({D1179}), it's a rough draft, but it works... ignore the warts for now but please take a look and let me know if it's totally insane. I suspect it is at least moderately insane, however, I've had enough of this code for the time being and I wanted to give you something to look at.

If all goes according to plan, we should be able to launch a test rollout of this[1] next week.

[1] {D1179}

I'm going to try to deploy this to a cloud instance for further testing.
