That’s really interesting, especially your point about preprocessing and indexing being required to make search outputs good.
What was the first sign that made you realize querying live APIs wasn’t enough?
Was it latency, missing data, or just that results weren’t relevant?
And when you say preprocessing, what kind of transformations or normalization ended up being most important?
