Hi Ribao, Great! I'm glad you like it! There's actually nothing that you should be worried about in terms of privacy - the inverted index is stored with HTML5's localStorage. The server is only used to build the inverted index, it then sends it back to the client, and forgets everything else. I don't store any data on the server because of privacy concerns and because I'm not sure that I have the financial means to support a database in the cloud for such data (especially if enough users started to use the app). If you're unsure about it, take a look at the code I listed in on my github page.
That's a great point though, I will make that more clear in the documentation. Thanks for checking it out! If you have any suggestions or feedback, let me know!
