um, free is nice, but who needs a search engine for 1000 records? You can keep that in a spreadsheet, or sqlite. I think they could bump it up to 10,000 records without cannibalizing any real monetizable businesses.
- jparker165 12y agoAnd even at 10,000 records, you're probably better off pre-loading them as json on the client and avoiding the server request altogether.
- jgalt212 12y agoNot really sure that's feasible because Algolia records are more akin to Word docs than Excel rows. 10K docs could be approx 10GB of data--definitely not feasible to push over the wire, and pushing the upper bounds of what even sqlite can handle.
- jlemoine 12y agoA lot of people think that search is only useful on big data set, but that's actually wrong. With Algolia, you are able to find relevant content with few letters, we tolerate typos, we tolerate wrong concatenation, any languages, ... a lot of feature that come out of the box. You can have an idea of a website with few data that use us here: http://skyscrapercenter.com/ http://skyscrapercenter.com/ You should give us a try :)
