Build search on backend #267

Closed mapsam closed 8 years ago

mapsam commented 8 years ago

At some point, search is going to be too large for a front-end solution. It's not within our scope to build this out on the backend, but I think it's worth documenting the limitations of the front-end.

I've been reworking the search functionality with Fuse.js and there is a section called "limitations" that describes where lag becomes a factor, which is likely if the database gets into the multiple of thousands.
