The most interesting blog post on search engine might be on Algolia 
blog.

IMO, the two problems of Algolia approach are two sides:

- They rely on C++
- They rely on the fact all the data fit in RAM
- They rely on specific data structures (instead of an OKVS)

Anyway, it is a great read, and their post on lexical features was a 
great inspiration.
