Description Yuvi Panda 2014-06-26 19:12:37 UTC
Right now the Android and iOS apps use OpenSearch for suggestions-as-the-users type, which isn't the best because typing 'Beatles' will not match 'The Beatles'. We don't want to do a full text search since that is too slow for search-as-you-type suggestions. 

What would be a good start is to have an API that searches within titles only (highlight in the title great but optional if killing that gives us speed). Having search suggestions be part of this would be awesome as well.

The API can also be fairly nicely cached, since delay as much as 1d is ok for the apps...
