I had to use it for a project (completely unrelated) and integrating it into a website is a sub-hour task, it’s also silly portable since with rust you can just get a statically compiled version of packages that just need a dynamically linked libc.
Yeah, I expect we will eventually deploy our own version here, but Algolia was pretty straightforward to set up initially, and I was familiar with it from a smaller project earlier (it works great for small corpuses, and their free-tier is great, but the pricing is steep and the performance gets worse in larger corpuses).
I appreciate the pointer to meilisearch. Will look into it.
Why not use something like https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch ?
