Tried it out with about 10k short docs and it works pretty well as a potentional algolia replacement. I had to use 'sort_by' : '_text_match:desc' to get good results.

I couldn't find a way to create synonyms, is this possible?

Is it also possible to control typo sensitivity like algolia? e.g. min chars for 1 typo, min chars for 2 typos.

The curation features looks handy, but I haven't tried it yet.

Install and config was a breeze which is appreciated.

I hope it takes off for you. Nice work.

Thanks for the feedback. Synonyms is on the immediate roadmap, but not available at the moment.

> Is it also possible to control typo sensitivity

You can control overall number of typose with ?num_typos=1 -- there is no way to define min chars for a specific typo. The engine does make some intelligent decisions to optimize. For example, for a 2 letter query it does not use a num_typos=2 even if that is specified.

Glad to hear about the setup. Will continue to improve.
