Comparison to alternatives is misleading #185

For eg, additional sort orders require duplicate indices in both Algolia and Meilisearch, which increases costs and memory requirements.

While this was true for Algolia but not anymore, it never was the case with Meilisearch.

Based on the project's documented limitations, it seems to be geared for small dataset sizes,
and specifically for cases where high availability is not a requirement. Since it does not have multi-node clustering or node-node replication, it is not production-ready yet.

In assessing the readiness of a product, one could argue that it hinges on having users in production who experience satisfactory service quality. By that measure, we currently boast a user base of over 20,000 individuals utilizing the open-source edition, coupled with over 1,000 users on our cloud platform. Most of these users actively employ the software in live environments, often handling substantial datasets. Furthermore, we would appreciate you clarifying your definition of "large datasets." Notably, we have clients leveraging Meilisearch for datasets exceeding 100 million documents. This is a considerable scale for most users. We would appreciate your perspective on this matter.
