- wahnfrieden 2y agoJapanese support looks good. But it looks like I can’t deploy this inside an iOS app :(
- plq 2y agoWhy not?
- wahnfrieden 2y agoI need an offline client side db/ fts (for this language learning app: https://reader.manabi.io https://reader.manabi.io )
- plq 2y agoTo my knowledge, meili is free software (MIT license) so theoretically, it should be possible to embed it to an IOS app.
- wahnfrieden 2y agoit's more about the tech it uses... it's oriented toward docker based deploy and is made in rust so maybe it can be ported to iOS, I'd have to spend time forking the packaging. looks like it's geared toward server environments
- djhn 2y agoUnfortunately it still works very poorly for languages with compound words (German, Swedish, Finnish) where you would usually want to surface search results if someone uses the second or third part of the compound word, otherwise the user has to enumerate the (often too many) variants. Meilisearch doesn’t support suffix search and their tokenizer can’t handle these languages. For instance searching for ‘___missilestrike’ in Kyiv would ideally surface all incidents, regardless of launch mode (surface-to-surface, air-to-surface…), range, propulsion, warhead, or guidance system. In these languages a number of these would form the prefix of that compound word.
