Could you build this?
Partial Self-indexing data structures (like FM-index, succinct data structures, or compressed suffix arrays) require exact algorithmic knowledge of theoretical computer science and bit-vector manipulation.
What it would actually take: A proper self-index requires implementing compressed text indexes such as FM-indexes based on Burrows-Wheeler Transform (BWT) and wavelet trees in C++ or Rust. The hard part is achieving theoretical space-time tradeoffs, succinct bit-vector rank/select operations, and efficient querying without cache thrashing. Expertise in advanced data structures and low-level algorithmic engineering is essential.
