I am pretty confused what any of this has to do with Algolia. The primary problem to me appears to be that we don’t actually have a large fraction of the tags categorized in the tag hierarchy displayed on the All Tags page. We could show you a copy of the tag page table, but that would omit a lot of new tags, and also probably not be dense enough. We could develop some custom UI for that menu to group them, but that’s mostly a bunch of work (and doesn’t have super much to do with Algolia).
The site search will probably always have somewhat different constraints than normal database operations (in particular if we want to stay within the autocomplete paradigm), so I don’t think anything about this would get easier if we switch away from Algolia (things like this are actually a domain where Algolia is pretty great).
I stand corrected and I hope Algolia is accepts my apologies for the slight. The actual table I don’t think is much a possibility, if desirable at all, but structured things are good. The alternative is just ordered things, if we can accurately predict which things are likely.
Yeah, ok. I do think personalization is blocked on Algolia, and I didn’t really think about this as a potential solution to this (but it totally is). So yeah, maybe slighting Algolia was the right call.
