Wondering about query validation at the moment, afaik there isn't anything in the client libraries for this. Would this be a feature others would want? My use-case is people running queries with a custom syntax and UI which are translated into TypeSense queries. Validating these is quite hit-and-miss — is there a better way to do this already? If not, is this something that could conceivably be handled by client libraries or the API in the future?

Could you elaborate on what you mean by “query validation”? Typesense does do validation for bad requests on the server-side…

^ right, I mean having an option for client-side validation, for things like realtime feedback in frontends
