Search gets written twice in FB and thus cancels each other out

[troymcneil]

I am trying to setup up Flashlight locally.

I downloaded Flashlight and used my credentials in config.js.
I also am using the security rules that are provided in the example.

I manually put set my paths and everything seems to be indexing fine.

However, whenever I make a request, I see in FB that there is a search/requests as well as a search/response being written. Since search is showing up as two different paths, it is canceling each other out after about a second.

Not sure what the issue is as I haven't really customized anything.

What do you mean by canceling each other out? The Flashlight server consumes requests from search/requests and writes the results to search/response, which is read by the client. See example.js.
