Description

## Overview

After looking through multiple options including [AWS OpenSearch Serverless](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/opensearch-service/latest/developerguide/serverless-overview.html), which is [potentially complicated](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/big-data/implement-a-full-stack-serverless-search-application-using-aws-amplify-amazon-cognito-amazon-api-gateway-aws-lambda-and-amazon-opensearch-serverless/) has a minimum cost of ~$106/month (as of July 2nd, 2023, configured with t2.small.search and minimum storage) as well as other 3rd party managed services, we concluded that the only free-ish possibility was both simpler and potentially free to cheap for limited use was [FlexSearch enabled with Lambda and Persistent EFS](https://medium.com/@chrisswhitneyy/full-text-search-in-aws-without-the-price-tag-server-less-full-text-search-with-persistent-c2478bc94015)

## Deliverables
