hi guys, i am building a web app and i got a collection that has like 500 documents, those documents are listed on a page and i got a search input, my question is: Is using appwrites Query a good option for search?

TL;DR
There is a limit to the number of documents you can read at a time. Consider triggering the query after the user stops typing to avoid hitting the limit. Utilize the contains query to search for documents efficiently. If storage is not a concern, load and cache some documents initially for faster queries. Appwrite's Query feature can be a good option for search in your web app.

There is a limit to read So you might need to trigger the query after when user stops writing or something like that. You could use the contains query to check for docuemets. But if your dont have user storage related issue just load some of them and cache them Then the query can be faster
