Reviewing some of my earliest web projects: they have a mix of Postgres, MySQL and Mongo.

I've been working on a search tool for a website with 9K items and a dumb implementation works just fine. I'd normally gravitate to a library or tool like elasticsearch (ES).
Adding custom filters etc is trivial on handrolled code. I wonder what scale requires actual search infra like ES.
I've been experimenting with supporting the unified diff format in difftastic. This is a single column format ('inline') with @@ markers.
What do you think? This format doesn't scale well to larger changes, but it's super familiar and works with other tools.
