Search engine in Obsidian

Hi,
I was wondering how text search is implemented in Obsidian? Afaik, there’s no database and no indexing (please correct me if I’m wrong). So, won’t search speed become an issue with a large note count? Should I worry it will become an issue somewhere in the future?

What is the current implementation of searching? What algorithm is used?

P.S. Fairly basic question, but I haven’t found a duplicate topic.
