    To keep your users engaged, search results need to show up instantly and be relevant to them, even when they do typos.

    To try this out, I went to the demo page for searching TV episodes (http://www.algolia.com/demo) and searched for "The Wire Season 2". Here are the four results given, with the highlighted portions bracketed:

    [The Wire] Gag Reel [Season 2]

    [The] Simple Life [Season 2] - Special - The Stuff We [Were]n't Allowed To Show You

    [The] Farmer Wants a [Wife] (Australia) [Season] 6, Episode [2]

    [The] Cosby Show [Season 2] DVD Extra: New Interview with [Dire]ctor Jay Sandrich

    Rather than seeking "engagement", I'd put more emphasis on having high quality search results. Having 3 of the 4 results ignore the properly typed title of the show is a terrible interface. Correcting "Wire" to match "Director" is absurd.

    The sad part is that these results might make you think that the episodes for season 2 of the "The Wire" aren't in the database, but they are. But they are, just not indexed in a way that they are found using the exact phrase "Season 2".

    Trying to be more constructive, there is a typo in the first sentence of your Intro, where the name of your company is spelled wrong. Also, "Real-Time Search" usually means search against a database that is being constantly updated. Anyway, I need to get back to screaming at the kids on my lawn.
