This is pretty cool! I’m working on an open source alternative to Algolia / ElasticSearch called Typesense [1]. Going to use this 2M recipe dataset to build an instantsearch showcase like this [2]. Should make for an interesting search/discovery experience. Will post this shortly!

Alright! It's live: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25365397

You should now be able search for recipes and filter based on ingredients. Most results should be returned in few 10s of ms.

Interesting coincidence. ElasticSearch was inspired by Shay Banon trying to build a recipe site.
