Replace Algolia
Fast typo-tolerant search, with your records copied into their index and kept in sync.
Why teams move off Algolia
Usage-priced search over records that already live in your database, kept in sync by code you write and maintain. Postgres full-text and pg_search cover more cases than teams expect before reaching for an index elsewhere.
What you give up
Typo tolerance, relevance tuning and the instant-search UI components. No mountable engine packages this yet — an open request.
This directory says so when an engine only covers part of the job. A replacement that needs a caveat is still worth knowing about — it just should not surprise you in week three.
