Too many false positives about tinysearch HOT 7 CLOSED

Can you try to compile the version from master? We recently switched to XOR filters, which might give you a better false-positive rate. The Docker image is not updated to the newest version yet unfortunately.

I managed to compile but still the old error, which forced me to use docker image, persists. When I try to run tinysearch index.json I'm getting only

As I wrote in the comment to #151 I was finally able to overcome this problem by compiling and running tinysearch in /tmp directory. The resulting wasm binary gives better search results although I am still getting false positives. Xorf crate has got a lot of other filters which give better false positives ratio. Would it be possible to implement them as well, or at least one of them and give user the choice which one to use?

@expilo how were you able to tell that the xorf crate gave you better false positives ratio? did you implement it locally?

@expilo do you have a fork of tinysearch where the xorf crate is in use

from tinysearch.

The xorf crate is already used in master:

What @expilo probably meant is that the other filters, which are part of the xorf crate, but which we don't use right now. The features are currently listed at the top of the xorf README.md. I have not looked into that myself, so I can't say which one would be the most promising to try next.

Original issue seems to be resolved; closing this to keep the issue tracker clean.
