This book is for people who want to know what makes a search fast once there's too much data to read.
Before a query ever arrives, what can you do to the data so you read less?
Chapter 1 starts from a plain fact: if you read everything, you will always find the answer.
If you'd rather learn to choose a structure by the shape of your queries than memorize one more index type, start right here with Chapter 1.
Free sample of *Indexes and the Art of Searching: Make It Searchable, Search It, Explore It*: the front matter and Chapter 1, "What to Prepare Before Reading", as PDF and EPUB. The full book is here:
