8 years ago So I have been playing around with Haystask and it seems to have a lot of things implemented for us. I'm not sure if the overhead is worth it, but I was implement something for us that seems to be good. (I could push my code to a branch to show if interested). Here's a quick break down of pros/cons
Pros
- Has lots of searching features implemented (including spell check, best match, etc)
- Puts less work on the db. The db would only be used to edit/add/get values, and not for searching.
- Lots of people seem to like it.
- It took some setup to get it to work, but it will now be very easy to add other search criteria.
Cons
- Don't have full control (or need to do weird stuff to get full control)
- Another place for something to go wrong.
- Overhead
What are your guys thoughts/opinions on haystack?
I see this as an on going issue, so I'm thinking of having other issues that specify the search criteria (name, author, etc) and linking them here.
