Text Search is hard to use
Two pieces of feedback:
1. The docs don't teach useStableValue or (less good imo) useStableQuery, don't link to https://stack.convex.dev/help-my-app-is-overreacting (which is long though), so creating a search interface is not straightforward without results flickering.
2. Now that search changed from prefix to fuzzy, it no longer fits super well the use case of looking up people by name (or room by name etc.), because irrelevant results are still returned. This could be alleviated (even if it's not the ideal fix) if the docs gave a recipe for computing the relevance score on the client side (or some measures resembling the relevance score).
