proud of this simple solution
im implementing text search on HTML TTRPG logfiles & parsing the HTML to return meant lines meant searches took ~1.5s
it's a CLI tool, so i realized i could just use ag's faster search to make basically a shitty bloom filter & get it down to 1s

6 line probabilistic filter with the same guarantees as a bloom filter that shaves 1/3 off the search time by using an existing tool without even adding a gem to the project :)
haven't programmed professionally in over 4 years but it's good to remember i still have the brain for it
does this introduce a silent dependency on the_silver_searcher? yes. will i *always* have the_silver_searcher installed on every terminal i use, and expect others to do the same? also yes.
