Heh, I always feel a bit bad when people mention this since we're not using it ourselves anymore. Though it's a nice and easy way to get going quickly if you're already running redis (and especially if you've got a rails app).
We're using elasticsearch now which is definitely a bit more of an operational headache.
Curious... why use Elasticsearch over Redis? We're currently using Elasticsearch, but were considering switching to Redis, but now I'm thinking maybe we shouldn't. What's the downside?
aw, you shouldn't feel bad... it's been awesome for us! :)
Cool! It seems a bit more flexible but it requires jQuery and the plugin itself is 11Kb.
The inclusion of a JS library is only a convenience. There more robust solutions for the UI like Twitter's Typeahead.js https://github.com/twitter/typeahead.js
This is awesome, I hadn't seen it before. Thanks for sharing!
