Search 0.1.90 / Operations
Local fallback and external indexing
Keep WordPress search operational when optional shared indexing is unavailable.
Local WordPress search is the required baseline. Search does not require Typesense or another external service.
Future shared SnapWeb Search infrastructure may accelerate registered collections with Typesense, but it must preserve stable source IDs, current-viewer permission checks, canonical URLs, and the local fallback. A Typesense administration key must never enter browser code or public markup.
Treat an external index as a derived cache, not the source of truth. Rebuild or bypass it when content visibility changes, an item is deleted, permissions cannot be represented safely, or the service is unavailable.
Test identical public/private cases with acceleration enabled and disabled before routing production traffic through an external index.
