The idea is to directly create a sorted and merged list of bitmaps
in the form of a BTreeMap<FieldId, RoaringBitmap> instead of creating
a grenad::Reader where the keys are field_id and the values are docids.
Then we send that BTreeMap to the thing that handles TypedChunks, which
inserts its content into the database.
When a document deletion occurs, instead of deleting the document we mark it as deleted
in the new “soft deleted” bitmap. It is then removed from the search, and all the other
endpoints.

563: Improve the `estimatedNbHits` when a `distinctAttribute` is specified r=irevoire a=Kerollmops
This PR is related to https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/issues/2532 but it doesn't fix it entirely. It improves it by computing the excluded documents (the ones with an already-seen distinct value) before stopping the loop, I think it was a mistake and should always have been this way.
The reason it doesn't fix the issue is that Meilisearch is lazy, just to be sure not to compute too many things and answer by taking too much time. When we deduplicate the documents by their distinct value we must do it along the water, everytime we see a new document we check that its distinct value of it doesn't collide with an already returned document.
The reason we can see the correct result when enough documents are fetched is that we were lucky to see all of the different distinct values possible in the dataset and all of the deduplication was done, no document can be returned.
If we wanted to implement that to have a correct `extimatedNbHits` every time we should have done a pass on the whole set of possible distinct values for the distinct attribute and do a big intersection, this could cost a lot of CPU cycles.

Will fix https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/issues/2380
The issue was that in the evaluation of the filter, I was using the deref implementation instead of calling the `value` method of my token.
To avoid the problem happening again, I removed the deref implementation; now, you need to either call the `lexeme` or the `value` methods but can't rely on a « default » implementation to get a string out of a token.

538: speedup exact words r=Kerollmops a=MarinPostma
This PR make `exact_words` return an `Option` instead of an empty set, since set creation is costly, as noticed by `@kerollmops.`
I was not convinces that this was the cause for all of the performance drop we measured, and then realized that methods that initialized it were called recursively which caused initialization times to add up. While the first fix solves the issue when not using exact words, using exact word remained way more expensive that it should be. To address this issue, the exact words are cached into the `Context`, so they are only initialized once.

514: Stop flattening every field r=Kerollmops a=irevoire
When we need to flatten a document:
* The primary key contains a `.`.
* Some fields need to be flattened
Instead of flattening the whole object and thus creating a lot of allocations with the `serde_json_flatten_crate`, we instead generate a minimal sub-object containing only the fields that need to be flattened.
That should create fewer allocations and thus index faster.

483: Enhance matching words r=Kerollmops a=ManyTheFish
# Summary
Enhance milli word-matcher making it handle match computing and cropping.
# Implementation
## Computing best matches for cropping
Before we were considering that the first match of the attribute was the best one, this was accurate when only one word was searched but was missing the target when more than one word was searched.
Now we are searching for the best matches interval to crop around, the chosen interval is the one:
1) that have the highest count of unique matches
> for example, if we have a query `split the world`, then the interval `the split the split the` has 5 matches but only 2 unique matches (1 for `split` and 1 for `the`) where the interval `split of the world` has 3 matches and 3 unique matches. So the interval `split of the world` is considered better.
2) that have the minimum distance between matches
> for example, if we have a query `split the world`, then the interval `split of the world` has a distance of 3 (2 between `split` and `the`, and 1 between `the` and `world`) where the interval `split the world` has a distance of 2. So the interval `split the world` is considered better.
3) that have the highest count of ordered matches
> for example, if we have a query `split the world`, then the interval `the world split` has 2 ordered words where the interval `split the world` has 3. So the interval `split the world` is considered better.
## Cropping around the best matches interval
Before we were cropping around the interval without checking the context.
Now we are cropping around words in the same context as matching words.
This means that we will keep words that are farther from the matching words but are in the same phrase, than words that are nearer but separated by a dot.
> For instance, for the matching word `Split` the text:
`Natalie risk her future. Split The World is a book written by Emily Henry. I never read it.`
will be cropped like:
`…. Split The World is a book written by Emily Henry. …`
and not like:
`Natalie risk her future. Split The World is a book …`

436: Speed up the word prefix databases computation time r=Kerollmops a=Kerollmops
This PR depends on the fixes done in #431 and must be merged after it.
In this PR we will bring the `WordPrefixPairProximityDocids`, `WordPrefixDocids` and, `WordPrefixPositionDocids` update structures to a new era, a better era, where computing the word prefix pair proximities costs much fewer CPU cycles, an era where this update structure can use the, previously computed, set of new word docids from the newly indexed batch of documents.
---
The `WordPrefixPairProximityDocids` is an update structure, which means that it is an object that we feed with some parameters and which modifies the LMDB database of an index when asked for. This structure specifically computes the list of word prefix pair proximities, which correspond to a list of pairs of words associated with a proximity (the distance between both words) where the second word is not a word but a prefix e.g. `s`, `se`, `a`. This word prefix pair proximity is associated with the list of documents ids which contains the pair of words and prefix at the given proximity.
The origin of the performances issue that this struct brings is related to the fact that it starts its job from the beginning, it clears the LMDB database before rewriting everything from scratch, using the other LMDB databases to achieve that. I hope you understand that this is absolutely not an optimized way of doing things.

431: Fix and improve word prefix pair proximity r=ManyTheFish a=Kerollmops
This PR first fixes the algorithm we used to select and compute the word prefix pair proximity database. The previous version was skipping nearly all of the prefixes. The issue is that this fix made this method to take more time and we were trying to reduce the time spent in it.
With `@ManyTheFish` we found out that we could skip some of the work we were doing by:
- discarding the prefixes that were shorter than a specific threshold (default: 2).
- discarding the word prefix pairs with proximity bigger than a specific threshold (default: 4).
- remove the unused threshold that was specifying a minimum amount of word docids to merge.
We will take more time to do some more optimization, like stop clearing and recomputing from scratch the database, we will compute the subsets of keys to create, keep and merge. This change is a little bit more complex than what this PR does.
I keep this PR as a draft as I want to further test the real gain if it is enough or not if it is valid or not. I advise reviewers to review commit by commit to see the changes bit by bit, reviewing the whole PR can be hard.

426: Fix search highlight for non-unicode chars r=ManyTheFish a=Samyak2
# Pull Request
## What does this PR do?
Fixes https://github.com/meilisearch/MeiliSearch/issues/1480
<!-- Please link the issue you're trying to fix with this PR, if none then please create an issue first. -->
## PR checklist
Please check if your PR fulfills the following requirements:
- [x] Does this PR fix an existing issue?
- [x] Have you read the contributing guidelines?
- [x] Have you made sure that the title is accurate and descriptive of the changes?
## Changes
The `matching_bytes` function takes a `&Token` now and:
- gets the number of bytes to highlight (unchanged).
- uses `Token.num_graphemes_from_bytes` to get the number of grapheme clusters to highlight.
In essence, the `matching_bytes` function now returns the number of matching grapheme clusters instead of bytes.
Added proper highlighting in the HTTP UI:
- requires dependency on `unicode-segmentation` to extract grapheme clusters from tokens
- `<mark>` tag is put around only the matched part
- before this change, the entire word was highlighted even if only a part of it matched
## Questions
Since `matching_bytes` does not return number of bytes but grapheme clusters, should it be renamed to something like `matching_chars` or `matching_graphemes`? Will this break the API?
Thank you very much `@ManyTheFish` for helping 😄

386: fix obkv document r=curquiza a=MarinPostma
When serializing a document, the serializer resolved the field_id of the current field and immediately added it to the obkv document under construction. The issue with that is that obkv expects the fields to be inserted in order, and when a document with out of order fields was added, obkv failed to insert the field.
The current fix first resolves each field_id, and adds all the fields to a temporary `BTreeMap`, until `end` is called on the map serializer, where all the fields are added to the obkv at once, and in order.

Release containing the geosearch, cf #322
Co-authored-by: Clémentine Urquizar <clementine@meilisearch.com>
322: Geosearch r=ManyTheFish a=irevoire
This PR introduces [basic geo-search functionalities](https://github.com/meilisearch/specifications/pull/59), it makes the engine able to index, filter and, sort by geo-point. We decided to use [the rstar library](https://docs.rs/rstar) and to save the points in [an RTree](https://docs.rs/rstar/0.9.1/rstar/struct.RTree.html) that we de/serialize in the index database [by using serde](https://serde.rs/) with [bincode](https://docs.rs/bincode). This is not an efficient way to query this tree as it will consume a lot of CPU and memory when a search is made, but at least it is an easy first way to do so.
### What we will have to do on the indexing part:
- [x] Index the `_geo` fields from the documents.
- [x] Create a new module with an extractor in the `extract` module that takes the `obkv_documents` and retrieves the latitude and longitude coordinates, outputting them in a `grenad::Reader` for further process.
- [x] Call the extractor in the `extract::extract_documents_data` function and send the result to the `TypedChunk` module.
- [x] Get the `grenad::Reader` in the `typed_chunk::write_typed_chunk_into_index` function and store all the points in the `rtree`
- [x] Delete the documents from the `RTree` when deleting documents from the database. All this can be done in the `delete_documents.rs` file by getting the data structure and removing the points from it, inserting it back after the modification.
- [x] Clearing the `RTree` entirely when we clear the documents from the database, everything happens in the `clear_documents.rs` file.
- [x] save a Roaring bitmap of all documents containing the `_geo` field
### What we will have to do on the query part:
- [x] Filter the documents at a certain distance around a point, this is done by [collecting the documents from the searched point](https://docs.rs/rstar/0.9.1/rstar/struct.RTree.html#method.nearest_neighbor_iter) while they are in range.
- [x] We must introduce new `geoLowerThan` and `geoGreaterThan` variants to the `Operator` filter enum.
- [x] Implement the `negative` method on both variants where the `geoGreaterThan` variant is implemented by executing the `geoLowerThan` and removing the results found from the whole list of geo faceted documents.
- [x] Add the `_geoRadius` function in the pest parser.
- [x] Introduce a `_geo` ascending ranking function that takes a point in parameter, ~~this function must keep the iterator on the `RTree` and make it peekable~~ This was not possible for now, we had to collect the whole iterator. Only the documents that are part of the candidates must be sent too!
- [x] This ascending ranking rule will only be active if the search is set up with the `_geoPoint` parameter that indicates the center point of the ascending ranking rule.
-----------
- On Meilisearch part: We must introduce a new concept, returning the documents with a new `_geoDistance` field when it passed by the `_geo` ranking rule, this has never been done before. We could maybe just do it afterward when the documents have been retrieved from the database, computing the distance from the `_geoPoint` and all of the documents to be returned.

341: Throw a query time error when a sort parameter is used but the sort ranking rule is missing r=Kerollmops a=Kerollmops
This PR makes the engine throw an error for when the ranking rules don't contain the `sort` rule, the `sortable_fields` are correctly set but the user tries to use the `sort` query parameter. Doing so will have no effect on the returned documents so we preferred returning an error to help debug this.
That's breaking on the MeiliSearch side as we added a new variant to the `UserError` enum.

309: Sort at query time r=Kerollmops a=Kerollmops
This PR:
- Makes the `Asc/Desc` criteria work with strings too, it first returns documents ordered by numbers then by strings, and finally the documents that can't be ordered. Note that it is lexicographically ordered and not ordered by character, which means that it doesn't know about wide and short characters i.e. `a`, `丹`, `▲`.
- Changes the syntax for the `Asc/Desc` criterion by now using a colon to separate the name and the order i.e. `title:asc`, `price:desc`.
- Add the `Sort` criterion at the third position in the ranking rules by default.
- Add the `sort_criteria` method to the `Search` builder struct to let the users define the `Asc/Desc` sortable attributes they want to use at query time. Note that we need to check that the fields are registered in the sortable attributes before performing the search.
- Introduce a new `InvalidSortableAttribute` user error that is raised when the sort criteria declared at query time are not part of the sortable attributes.
- `@ManyTheFish` introduced integration tests for the dynamic Sort criterion.
Fixes#305.
