AL template search: Architecture

[Dschoordsch]

Goals

The Activity Library template search should be

• responsive, i.e. results should show up as the user types
• find exact text matches
• find smart matches, e.g. searching for "project end" should bring up "post-mortem"

[Dschoordsch]

Ideally we could run a small model on the client. This way the search would be much more responsive and there wouldn't be a lot of load on the server. On the other hand we're running the spotlight search on the server just fine.

Easiest way to implement is

• embed all templates with a plaintext including all prompts and descriptions
  • don't include extra prose
• add query on the User next to availableTemplates
• debounce and query this from the client

• import historical meeting templates based on updatedAt field
• make sure the updatedAt field of the template is also updated when a prompt is changed
