[Flask] Search options for Flask

[Scott Werner]

I would look into using full text search
<https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/static/textsearch.html> for
PostgreSQL. It was pretty straight forward to implement and was good enough
for my app. However, since you have the requirement for SQLite, you will
need to look into the SQLite FTS5 Extension <https://sqlite.org/fts5.html>
 also.
