Search that scales

Search is the product feature users notice only when it fails.

In this talk we look at how to keep a search experience fast and relevant as corpora and traffic grow: mappings that match the questions people actually ask, analyzers you can explain, and a UI that degrades gracefully when the cluster is having a day.

You will leave with a checklist — not a vendor pitch — covering relevance feedback, latency budgets, and when not to add another index.

Abstract

Search is the product feature users notice only when it fails.

In this talk we look at how to keep a search experience fast and relevant as corpora and traffic grow: mappings that match the questions people actually ask, analyzers you can explain, and a UI that degrades gracefully when the cluster is having a day.

You will leave with a checklist — not a vendor pitch — covering relevance feedback, latency budgets, and when *not* to add another index.

Une recherche qui scale

La recherche est la fonctionnalité que les utilisateurs ne voient que lorsqu’elle casse.

On verra comment garder une expérience rapide et pertinente quand le volume et le trafic grandissent : des mappings alignés sur les vraies questions, des analyzeurs que l’on sait expliquer, et une UI qui survit aux mauvaises journées du cluster.

Vous repartirez avec une checklist — pas un pitch produit.

How this About page is built

The About layout lists socials from data/socials.toml, then each Markdown file in content/about/ except index.md, sorted by filename. That is why the files are named 10-me.md, 20-details.md, 30-speaking.md.

Add a file, pick a title in front matter, write Markdown. No extra template work.

Speaking

Alex (still fictional) talks about search, observability, and community. Recurring abstracts live under /talks/templates/. The map at /talks/map/ is built from conference.latitude and conference.longitude on each talk — there is no separate geo database.

If you present in more than one language, set talk-lang on the talk and add a versions entry on the template. The theme renders tabs so you can paste the right abstract into a CFP.

Who am I?

Alex Rivera is a fictional Developer Advocate used only in this example site. The biography, conferences, and co-speaker are invented so you can copy the content shape without copying a real person.

In a real site this section is the first 10-*.md file on the About page: short, first person or third, with the links that do not belong in the nav.
