Real-time search has improved device monitoring and now needs better relevance tuning and cost clarity
One area for Algolia's improvement is the relevance of tuning and configuration because it can take some time to properly configure ranking and filtering for a specific use case. If you are new to this or do not have experience with the tuning and configuration of the search, that can take some time to adapt and use this search engine. To make it better, I would appreciate improvement in the relevance of tuning and configuration, as it takes time to properly configure ranking and filtering. I can also say that transparency for scaling usage and cost transparency for when you are scaling would be beneficial.
