plots2 VS Elasticsearch

Citizen science! It's great when people realize they can answer their own questions with observation and data, and for activism because data is a powerful story. One friend of mine started https://publiclab.org to feed this, and another is doing data journalism to highlight holes in the government's environmental data. https://www.muckrock.com/project/

My first contribution ever was to PublicLab's plots2 back in 2018. I had no idea what I was doing or what plots2 was. What attracted me was how welcoming they were (and still are) to first time contributors. With them: I opened my first PR, discussed in PR's conversation, and pushed the changes requested. Back then, that was a lot!

Hmm so to your first question: That pattern of selecting from a pre-populated list is often used with a tag or chip system where you can select and deselect one or more items from the list, something like this: https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/issues/6026 in this case the search CTA acts as the final decision to search while the selections are populating the search criteria. It sounds your system design is a bit different though. Sounds to me like an issue of heuristics of UI https://www.nngroup.com/articles/ten-usability-heuristics/ the third heuristic states:

Maybe public lab would be a good home? https://publiclab.org/

https://github.com/publiclab/plots2 A collaborative knowledge-exchange platform in Rails; we welcome first-time contributors! balloon

I believe the 1024 limit has been upped in recent versions of Elasticsearch

https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/92458

Elasticsearch is written in Java and its source code is available on Github.

I don't think the murmur3 hash implementation has changed since it was added as the default in version 2.0 (see the [changes](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/commits/main/server/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/cluster/routing/Murmur3HashFunction.java)). The plugin itself has seen [more changes](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/commits/main/plugins/mapper-murmur3) but that's IMO because of internals and not visible changes in the calculations.

Mysql is not as open source as postgres (long story). And you can see how open elasticsearch is by just having access to the bugs database https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issue
