This is pretty cool. Thanks for posting.

Question. How does jina compares to Elasticsearch and Solr?


Jina and ES have different focus. Unlike the symbolic search engine, Jina aims more on the multi/cross-modality search backed by DNN. This blog post explains the difference between this two: https://hanxiao.io/2018/01/10/Build-Cross-Lingual-End-to-End...


and for those who are curious about Jina's ancestor GNES: https://hanxiao.io/2019/07/29/Generic-Neural-Elastic-Search-...


What am i looking at? I type in the provided search input and nothing happens. I drag images to the interface, nothing happens. The github site has an animation that shows something being dragged, apparently then searched (indexed i would have assumed? but its unclear what is going on) and then some results get displayed without any typing ever happening.


Hi there - are you running Jina in Docker on your local machine? We recently updated the docs at https://github.com/jina-ai/jinabox.js/#jinaboxjs-in-action to explain how to get started.

Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any more questions or feedback!

PS: If you still have problems, could you let me know which browser you're using?


Alternatively, if you still have problems, we'd really appreciate you letting us know in our issue queue: https://github.com/jina-ai/jinabox.js/issues


Jina is excellent. It makes building a search engine for small and medium company a lot easier.The whole data pipeline could be handled by jina.


Thanks for the feedback Ryan! I'm actually writing about doing product search with Jina right now
