Would You Kindly... Search Without an Index?

I am boyter, and I’m here to ask you a question. Is a developer not entitled to the relevance of his own query? “No!” says the man in Algorithms, “It belongs to the poor… performance on cold starts.” “No!” says the man in the Search Engine Temple, “It belongs to the inverted index.” “No!” says the man in the Trigram Cathedral, “It belongs to the trigram postings list, pre-computed and eternal.” I rejected those answers; instead, I chose something different.
