Gary and Joel here, welcome to week 14! Hope everyone and their little ones had a great week. 😃

💨 We made search faster!

The average search on Paladin Kids used to take 10 seconds, sometimes going for as long as 45 seconds (!!!) before returning any videos.

Lots of users have given the feedback that while it's not a dealbreaker, it feels like the app broke and needs to be restarted.

We made some changes to the search infrastructure that speeds up recurring searches (if you're curious how, we now index video transcripts). Here's how this works: The first time you search for something (say, "math for 4 year olds") on Paladin Kids, it will still take anywhere from 10 - 30 seconds All subsequent times you search for that same term, it should take less than 4 seconds.

The great part "../../blogs"is, indexing is platform-wide, not just for your account. That means that if anyone else searches "balloons", everyone else that searches "balloons" from that point on will get faster loading times. Over time, searches on Paladin should load faster and faster as we index more videos.

You can see a side-by-side comparison here of a first-time search and a subsequent search:
