> I've got another ticket not listed as anything and actually it has my full DOB and previous address, cool If it's a street you grew up on, what banks do you use? ;)
Chase, why?

How are exact match searches supported? There is absolutely no evidence on the page that this is possible. How does searching for “brad knowles” match “brad alan knowles”, when I put my name in quotes? How does it match a case where “brad knowles” does not appear to be used anywhere on the page, but where one line matches “knowles” and then another line matches “brad”?
I think this is a smart-quotes issue -- smart-quotes are removed: “brad knowles” -> brad knowles "brad knowles" -> "brad knowles" I always set my OS to disable smart-quotes. Worst is when you paste them into source code.
This is... not great. It's crucial that these records be open to public inspection. But instant full-text search of the entire dockets of 630M cases feels wrong, invasive, and dangerous to me. It's yet another instance of panopticon surveillance now being too cheap to meter. I think our society needs to come to grips with this new reality and figure out what to do about it. Or are we all just cool with this?
So optimistically maybe having lots of information public and easily searchable like this ultimately leads to a similar outcome. Like maybe it forces us to stop using date of birth to verify identity since it's so easy to find anyone's date of birth.
If the information is going to be out there maybe it's safer for everyone to have it than just a few people. If just a few people have it, and they use it to screw just a few other people, there's no pressure to fix it.
Or of course maybe that's wishful thinking.

How much ram does that use up? What’s the latency? Is it sharded? Is it a cluster? So many questions
There are 2 search boxes going. One for storing the search index without source and another which stores the source, which is only used for highlighting. Searches usually take under 200ms and SRP and individual pages usually take less than 20ms. The 2 ES nodes are not formally part of a single cluster due to the index storage difference. Another box uses a traditional LAMP setup. Feel free to send a message on reddit…
How do you manage that between RAM or SSD?

I was making a joke because some basic info like name, DOB and address are enough to get into a bank account if the password was forgotten, especially if you know the answer to security questions like "What is the name of the street you grew up on?"

Yeah I was joking too

Highlight - Index is ~620GB. Xeon-D 2141I - 8c/16t - 2.2 GHz/3 GHz. 64 GB ECC 2133 MHz. 2×1.92 TB SSD NVMe
Search and highlighting handled async from queue.

You're all missing the point... ANYbody with a Lexis Nexus subscription, or a Bloomberg terminal, or one of those background check sites, already has this exact capability. It's not new. You dont need to be a lawyer to access any of it... I think the other poster simply meant that lawyers generally have Lexis subscriptions, already. Also, the various court databases this site is searching are ALREADY online and publi…
> This is just providing a free, unified interface with a fast search index. Yes, and that is a phase change difference. It's not a trivial enhancement.
I have a different theory about why this bugs you... Previous to today, you were ignorant of that these records were available online so cheaply and quickly. Nothing has really changed, except your own anxiety levels as your worldview struggles to absorb this information. But your brain wants the change to be external, because that's less threatening than the realization that this capability has been lurking out there in the world, all along.
