Using Vectorize to build an unreasonably good search engine in 160 lines of code

A "pebble in my shoe" or annoyance for a long time is the very limited search I get on JW.org and the adjacent wol.jw.org. These websites contain numerous interesting articles (in a stupendous 1108 languages 🤯), if only you know how to find them. 

It's true that the site maintainers have highlighted a bunch of articles and also try to show relevant links on the front page. But sometimes I am looking for something specific. That I just. Can't. Find. 

After reading this blog/advertorial by PartyKit, I wonder if using a vector database that cashed all the articles, the search would be improved? If I ever find the time for it, this would be a project informed on.
