It blew my mind after upgrading to enterprise that was still how it worked.

Sorry, but string prefix search over a few hundred million entries is something you can do with the same performance using just postgres on a single server with just a few hours of dev time.

I've done it before, it's not as impressive as it seems.

With trigrams you can even do precise substring search on this scale with good performance.

If you'd like, I can build a small demo.

Lol no thanks, once you hit the server I’m good, it’s more about the UI for me.

Not really. They only have 83-90 million users. That's not really a big table, at least in my world...

In my world 20 is a lot because finding customers is hard... :(
