Openlibrary looks pretty awesome. Thank you for sharing!

Would anyone be interested in having an instant search experience for this books dataset, like the one I built for the 2M recipes database posted on HN earlier this week: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25365397

Jabo, please also help us @ openlibrary improve our search. @cdrini is the lead on our solr efforts and we could really benefit from teaming with someone who is really passionate about search. If you have questions about using our data, please send over a message and I'm happy to help: [email protected]

Alright! A handful of upvotes in addition to a comment. I’m on it! I’ll whip something up and report back in a few hours.

Looks like it's going to be a while before I can download the dataset. Seems to be pretty slow even when downloading on EC2 with a 10Gpbs connection.

Be great to see your search on there. I was admiring the speed and accuracy on the post you put on the other day...
