Summary
The search INDEX we store in
localStorage
, and it has the limitation about 5M.And we discussed about the
Indexed DB
and other solutions couple years ago.Today, a sudden inspiration struck me: instead of switching the persistence layer, we can use text compression to address our retrieval needs.
So I have found some implementations of text compression algorithms,and pick the suitable one of LZW lz-string since we are more on the content/docs.
Have a test based on our site docs, it reduces the 80% cost.
In short term, it could be a chance for users to make search still works when their docs big but not that too much.
