Word search is too slow on "no fandom" search about flipper

Options for slow processes that I think of in the moment:

1. Add indexes. (This might be difficult IMHO)
2. Asynchronous code. Basically, keep the UI responsive while a tread is looking for certain words. Cancel query if people type extra letters, etc.
3. Cache results.
4. Precalculate stuff. E.g. a table with an index on word and a foreign key to fics with that world in the title.

Basically, if google can search trough billions of pages in a few milliseconds, you can also make a reasonable fast search. Right?

1. Adding a FTS table for title and summary is an option but heavily out of scope for what I am currently trying to do. And I am not sure it's going to help (much).
2. Nope. Allowing users to operate on the app while it's already doing its primary function can only lead to more problems. And if I disable all the relevant UI to make sure they don't click search again then asynchronicity becomes pointless.
3. Can't. My server is going to to do things quite a bit differently from others of this kind as in: every query will take into account ignored fics and ignored fandoms per user That, and
4. Per-word table might sound like a good idea but the database already has over 2 millions fanfic entries and it's only going to grow.

So... I think I will just defer solving of this task to the time where I jump to in-memory database instead of fiel system one. It's not like flipper currently has problems doing word searches when at least a fandom is selected
