Hey all, just wanted to check and see if there are any updates on the prefix search mentioned in this thread: https://discord.com/channels/1019350475847499849/1019350478817079338/1095351649943433216

hey @woofwoof, we're still working on it.
on the API side, do you have other search systems whose interface you like for prefix/fuzzy search? we've taken influence from https://www.meilisearch.com/, https://www.algolia.com/, and https://typesense.org/, but I'm curious if there are others you like.
Algolia is 🔥. Our team uses them for most of our applications... but It's a very versatile product. Just adding simple prefix capabilities to convex searchIndex would 10x its utility. In our case we are building a tagging component, and this would allow us to skip the step where we fetch all tags and then filter based on a search query client side. We're super excited to move all our apps state to convex and this seems to be the last step!
... any chance y'all have a closed beta for that feature?
No closed beta yet for this one. We'll let you know if that happens. But we're excited that you're excited! It's especially useful for to know what people feel like is their last hurdle.
i'm also excited bout this feature. keep up the good work team! 🙂
