Interesting. Searching is pretty snappy, case insensitive, but doesn't ignore diacritical marks. The load time is comfortable for 627 entries and it would be interesting to see how load times would be for larger sets. This is a client-side index so index build performance is also dependent on the client side processor, OS, and memory.
Here is an interesting anomaly: I searched on the year 1832 and got 2 hits, one of them being year of "Wolfgang Goethe (1749-1832)". When I search on the birth year (1749) I get 3 hits. As I wrote this and went back and forth with it I noticed that it is likely being affected by the unicode character "–" (u+0336) --- 1749-1832 versus 1749–1832--- but I'm not sure why. I wonder how complicated it would be to normalize strings (ignore accents).
