That's a petty objection to usable interactive search when it's easy to opt-out by adding a single command line argument.

- Nathanba 2y agoalso meilsearch is more like quickwit, their distributed offering but quickwit is AGPL
- PSeitz 2y agoThey serve quite different use cases. quickwit was built to handle extremely large data volumes, you can ingest and search TB and PB of logs. meilisearches indexing doesn't scale as it will become slower the more data you have, e.g. I failed to ingest 7GB of data.
- qdequelen 2y agoHey PSeitz, Meilisearch CEO here. Sorry to hear that you failed to index a low volume of data. When did you last try Meilisearch? We have made significant improvements in the indexing speed. We have a customer with hundreds of gigabytes of raw data on our cloud, and it scales amazingly well. https://x.com/Kerollmops/status/1772575242885484864 https://x.com/Kerollmops/status/1772575242885484864
- banish-m4 2y agoFrankly, I'm okay with Meillisearch for instant search because y'all are clear about analytics choices, offer understandable FOSS Rust, and have a non-AGPL license. If/when we make some money, I'm in favor of $upporting and consulting of tools used to keep them alive out of self-interest.
- soulofmischief 2y agoOP is entitled to make political choices when selecting software. Some of us have specific principles of which things like opt-out telemetry might run afoul. OP will choose their software, I choose mine and you choose yours; none of us need to call each other petty or otherwise cast such negative judgement; a free market is a free market.
- banish-m4 2y agoIrrational white-knighting rather than principled discussions doesn't add value here.
- soulofmischief 2y agoSuggesting you should be less judgemental is not white-knighting, nor is it irrational. Sorry bud, but not everyone thinks the way you do, different people have different principles. Feel free to explain how either of the two comments of yours I've replied to represent principled discussion or added value, because I'm not seeing it.
- kaathewise 2y agoIt's a minor complaint, but I'm also evaluating it for a minor project. I just don't like the fact that I can forget to add a flag once and, oh, now I'm sending telemetry on my personal medical documents.
- Kerollmops 2y agoMeilisearch only sends anonymized telemetry events. We only send API endpoints usage; nothing like raw documents goes through the wire. You can look at the exhaustive list of all collected data on our website [1].
