Also, checking if any overlap exists by asserting `len(query_tokens.intersection(title_tokens)) > 0` builds the full intersection set before calculating length. +**Action:** Use mathematical deduction for union length `len(A) + len(B) - len(A & B)` to skip allocation. Use `.isdisjoint()` for fast short-circuit overlap checking.
