Who said you couldn't make a distributed search engine? https://docs.rs/tantivy/latest/tantivy/ gives the guts of defining one and if someone figured out how to tie in https://docs.rs/opendal/latest/opendal/, you could swap between a "live" index and a local one. Updating the index would be out of scope but could be done by tracking each update to the index using a schema defined by https://lib.rs/yrs and sync that using whatever works (perhaps a causal archive imported once a day).
