Re:Show HN: Instantly search 28M books from OpenLibrary by jabo on Monday December 14, 2020 @10:33AM (#25418661)
I’m currently ranking by text match score and publish date and some of the records had publish dates that were hard to parse by Date.parse(), so I just set those to 1970: https://github.com/typesense/showcase-books-search/blob/2d38...

I didn’t seem to find a popularity metric in the dataset, which would have solved the issue you pointed out about literary work having books written about them.

I’ve left the typo correction settings to be a little loose, so need to reduce its aggressiveness. I’ll fix that.
