does anyone have any articles/stack overflow posts on how i could implement a user search in my app? im less concerned with the server part of it (as in, best ranking records against the user search term), but more concerned with how to handle the client <-> server interaction.
my thought process is: obviously i dont want to make http reqs on every keystroke, but also i want the results to be as responsive to the search term as possible. i was considering that after x keystrokes, i return a ranked list of users to the client, and then the client filters until the ranked list gets too small (whatever we define "too small" as), and then refetches from the server in that instance.
having trouble wording the google search on this one, wondering if anybody has advice. thanks!
