Is there a way to run it in WASM, to get something like Lunr[1]? We prefer to do our (small-index, <2MB) search client-side for a bunch of reasons, currently using Lunr.js, but it's a bit annoying and the typeahead search is something I improvised and not really official.

Hot tip, we experimented with running minisearch in RAM on cloudflare workers and it works excellent for up to 5MB of index due to it being under the 50ms CPU time.

This means, 10M search requests for 5$. The only drawback is that it's expensive to re-index, but if your use case don't require that, it's hard to beat!

Can vouch for minisearch. Amazing for relative small data that fits in memory.

The typeahead is great.
