Earlier quoted context omitted.

A limitation of TypeSense, and a lot of alternatives, is that they don't really work on Windows. TypeSense looks good for embedded situations (ie. inside an app) except it won't run on Windows.

We don't publish a native Windows binary mainly due to the effort involved. However, I've heard from a couple of users that they've been able to use the Docker build or WSL to run the Linux binary on Windows machines.

Yeah I can't require users to set up Docker or WSL before running my application.
