Users leave your site when search fails. Typing blakpink instead of blackpink should not lead to zero results. SQLite FTS5 is fast but too strict.

I moved the search engine to OpenSearch. It handles Asian languages. It finds content even with spelling mistakes.

The system uses these parts:

• Multi-field indexing for different languages.
• Edge n-grams for fast matching.
• A circuit breaker to use SQLite if OpenSearch fails.
• Cloudflare and LiteSpeed caching to save server resources.

The impact was immediate:

• Click rates rose from 31% to 48%.
• Zero-result pages dropped from 19% to 4%.
• Speed stayed fast.

Start with your index mapping. Build your pipeline. Add a safety switch before you move traffic.
