Hi you guys doing great work!
I'm trying to use the Firebase Typesense Extension and running into a few glitches.
1. the extension seem not respecting the configured host:port (I'm trying this in local firebase emulator v11.0.1, extension version 0.3.0)
2. default retry interval seem 120 sec. But the function instance will timeout in 60 sec.

(also it'd be nice to refine logs and loglevels a little bit.)

I checked this up a little. Found that I'm not setting TYPESENSE_PORT nor the firebase interactive cli installation prompt asked me to add port. It only asked me to provide "host" and I gave it localhost:8108 .

Host and port have to be provided separately. Is there an example anywhere which shows the host being provided with host:port format?

Not that I can remember. But I installed this extension by running

firebase ext:install typesense/firestore-typesense-search

and it never asked me to provide port. So I naturally added it in the host:port format.
