jayaprabhapalani/search-engine ? reverse-engineered prompt

Build me a Hacker News search app that lets people quickly find stories and posts with good autocomplete.

I want it to use both keyword matching and vector style search so results feel smart, not just exact text matches. It should pull data from the Hacker News API, keep things fast with Redis, and use background jobs for indexing and updates so the search stays fresh without slowing the app down. The autocomplete should suggest titles and search terms as I type, and the results page should rank the most relevant items near the top.

Please make it work as a simple full stack project with a clean frontend and an API behind it. If you need to check current library docs or best practices while building, go ahead and look them up. I’d like it to be easy to run with Docker too, and I want the whole thing to feel like a real search product, not just a demo.
