#+title: Subscriber Search Service
#+LINK: jira https://jira.aweber.io/browse/

A replacement for the current [[id:d9cb2b55-3b0e-4ab3-8369-f71ebc3cd882][Sites Subscriber Search]] and [[id:f74e335d-577f-4749-bf32-1c025795b039][Broadcast Segment Search]] implementations.

* Architecture Notes
#+begin_quote
Added: [2019-08-06 Tue 10:34]

- Broadcast sending manipulated queries before performing them to suit
  its needs
  - *Handle list exclusion in the search service?* ([[jira:CCPANEL-9557][CCPANEL-9557]])
  - Blocked emails
  - De-duplication
- *Lead view ids -> segment ids -> search service segments?* ([[jira:CCPANEL-9556][CCPANEL-9556]])
- Side-by-side comparison
  - Use broadcast-segment to compare its results to the search api
    results
- *Recipient-style representation or leads?*
- *Define API* ([[jira:CCPANEL-9554][CCPANEL-9554]])
  - Include saved searches (segments)
- *Iterate release* ([[jira:CCPANEL-9555][CCPANEL-9555]])
  - Current UI
  - New UI with same capabilities of old UI
    - Still writing old-style segments
- Research getting off the leads table (aurora?)
  - https://confluence.aweber.io/display/AR/Search+Service+Using+Existing+Databases
  - Distinct from a materialized search-optimized db
- Deal with =subscriber_tags= table bloat in AppDB

* Concerns
** Performance

and segment emailing.
