Hi, I have 3 questions. 1. Faster way to upload documents to Typesense. (I’m okay with uploading speed now, but if possible I wanna make it faster.) 2. advantages over meilisearch (Typesense cloud and unlimited filters?) https://typesense.org/docs/overview/comparison-with-alternatives.html#typesense-vs-meilisearch 3. limit_hits did not work. search request retrieves all documents. I’d appreciate it if you could answer my questions😄

@Masahiro Aoki 1. The fastest way to import documents is through the documents/import endpoint and ingesting a large batch of documents at once (assuming the server has sufficient capacity to handle the volume). I've been able to import 2M records, in 3 mins, importing 10K docs in one import call
2. Looks like you found the comparison table! Besides the feature set, the biggest highlight I'd say is that Typesense can run in a clustered mode, whereas Meilisearch can only run on a single node and does not support a clustered configuration, which makes it a potential single point of failure in a production setting. So it's not production-ready yet.
3. Could you share the exact search query you're using with limit_hits?

1. thanks! I will add this tips to documentation later. and besides, Do you have any plans to add FAQ section? It will help people to find answers more quickly! 2. wow-cool. Wny not mention in the table? 😆 3. This is the query I did
Copy code
const searchRequests = {
    searches: [
      {
        collection: 'users',
        q: `${ids}`,
        query_by: 'userId',
        limit_hits: 10,
        page: 1,
        per_page: 10
      }
    ]
  };
  try {
    const result = await client.multiSearch.perform(searchRequests);
    console.log(result);
    // console.log(result['results'][0]['hits']);
  } catch (e) {
    cons

1. No plans yet, but may be we should add one! May be to the overview section? Feel free to add it, and I can then also add a few questions that have come up in the past. 2. It's mentioned very lightly in the table as "*Fault Tolerance*" . I'll update it to make it clearer. 3. What happens when you change page to 2 in the same query?

because limit_hits: was set to 10, query failed. so, I tried with this query, but did not work. { collection: ‘users’, q: 
${ids}
, query_by: ‘userId’, page: 2, per_page: 10 }
query found 450 documents,but hits were 10. thanks it solved!!

Yup, it will still return the number of documents found, but it won't let you paginate through them based on limit_hits
