Which search engine is recommended for new projects?

For new projects needing instant search, Typesense or Meilisearch are recommended over Elasticsearch due to their lower operational complexity.

What advanced search features can this skill help with?

It provides implementation details for autocomplete, faceted navigation, typo-tolerance, and custom ranking rules.

Can I implement search using just my existing database?

Yes, for small-scale needs, using PostgreSQL with pgvector and tsvector can often cover search requirements without the need for a separate service.

How does it handle large-scale search infrastructure?

The skill covers SolrCloud architecture, streaming expressions, and data sync strategies for high-volume enterprise environments.

Does this skill support managed search services?

Yes, it includes deep operational guides for Algolia, including index configuration, A/B testing, and AI-driven recommendations.
