I get nothing either, on stable Firefox (84).

Oh no! If it's any consolation, I think it might be the site itself, not the search plugin... the site has been acting up in unrelated ways. The site desperately needs a rewrite, but I didn't have time before this launch date. Refreshing might work, but no promises? Or you could try my personal site's search bar: https://jameslittle.me/search/

Same for me, Brave on Android. Your personal site works though.

Just a quick non-thought-through idea but would it be possible to build an index in a way that allows clients to download only parts of it based on what they search? I.e. the search client normalizes the query in some way and then requests only the relevant index pages. The index would probably be a lot larger on the server but if disk space is not an issue...? (Though at some point you have to ask yourself what the…

Browser-side "Blockchain Certificate Transparency" applications need to support at least exact key lookup by domain/SAN and then also by cert fingerprint value; but the whole CT chain with every cert issue and revocation event is impractically large in terms of disk space.

You as well as your business partner are so creative at hijacking threads that it is almost cringeworthy :( Typesense itself might be a great product but but please stop devaluating it in trying to hijack every search related post.

As an introvert and an engineer it’s definitely not the easiest for me to talk about something I’m working on openly. So I do cringe every time I mention Typesense in contexts like this thread. But it seems like every time I mention it, new people discover it and there continues to be interest in the community for an oss search product. I’m sorry if you saw me mention Typesense too often.

IMO your post was fine and informative, I certainly appreciated it. As someone developing something similar, you would have thought about the problem a lot more than the casual reader and be able to provide insight others might not. I can relate to that.

However, it wasn't clear to me that you were involved with Typesense. Re-reading it now I spot one reference at the very end. If it was instead tied in with your first reference it would come across more honest and make your observations more appreciated.

It takes some time to download the index though.

That maybe ignoble in normal use case but I tried your website solely for searching, just to say.
