From the Search.io homepage, “we are the only search technology supporting full upserts. Your updates are instantly live in milliseconds, no matter the scale.“

Anyone able to speculate how they were able to achieve this? Or for that matter beyond good sales & marketing - what technically gave them an edge that market actually needed?

This is easily disproved: Pinecone (disclaimer: I work there) also supports live index updates... "no matter the scale." I think their marketing folks have gone a little far, and I say that as a marketing person.

Last I heard Pinecone doesn’t even support full text search, let alone hybrid indexes, what do you think you are disproving exactly?

Real-time upserts on hybrid and vector indexes is very unusual, please link to how you do this.

Heh, my eyes did pop at that one, considering we've also been doing that over here since 2020 at least ;)

Even self hosted milvus supports this.

On hybrid indexes with full text and vector support?
