who searches techno music for <i>lyrics</i>?<p>I'm looking for a sample that goes bleep-brrr-whoosh

  it's a bit tongue in cheek :-) and I agree, searching for ... "sounds" in descriptive/onomatopoeia-like language would be great!

    I feel it would be more interesting to show statistics about the words used rather than search.

      If you dig a tiny bit in the devtools, you’ll see the sqlite file that’s loaded in the frontend with all of the data :)<p>A word cloud or some stats is a great idea!

wow, all in-browser, and only 8 mb? or did I misread the progress screen?

  correct! it's a sqlite database which ends up being automatically gzip'd by the github cdn aka fastly - this ends up being ~4mb over the wire<p>obviously this solution doesn't scale (versus something like <a href="https://github.com/phiresky/sql.js-httpvfs" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/phiresky/sql.js-httpvfs</a> ) but sometimes it's fun to "just" send the sqlite database to the frontend and be done :-)
