Hi everyone, we’re developing an iOS app which wants to have accurate and fast fuzzy search ability, just found typesense and sounds promising. Does anyone know if it’s possible to run typesense in local iOS device instead of hosting it on server? We want offline fuzzy search so that user data can be kept locally without incurring server cost and get instant response. We’re using a Swift library which does local fuzzy search called FuzzyFind https://github.com/truizlop/FuzzyFind, performance is okay but not great, hence we keep on looking for a better alternative, thanks.

This is not possible to do with Typesense. It’s sever-software and needs to run on a linux server

That’s unfortunate. I am personally open to use fuzzy search cloud provider but need to convince other team members on this.
