Search API seems like "a deal with the devil" to me, for some time you get 
all that you could dream for, but at one point, you suffer and die painfully

I haven't reached the limits of Search API myself yet, I haven't seen 
anyone that did either, but once you reach the limits, you can't add any 
more documents, the index gets stuck - I'm guessing, at that point, one 
must implement another system to start deleting unimportant documents to 
make room for more important stuff, this applies to my use case, but it 
might not apply to everyone's

It would be great if Search API did this on it's own, if you reach the 
limit, send in an argument at document.add's to remove the least ranked 
document automatically

Anyway, now that I've been using the Search API for some time, I regret 
some of the thing that I did with "datastore", I have complex and well 
calibrated indexes and filters, filled with workarounds and trade-off's

At one point, I might re-visit them and just re-do things with Search API 
using a separate index for specific use cases

TL;DR: Search API is awesome but look out for the limitations, it's 
definitely not scalable
