There are APIs to write docs that don't go through KV but IMO they never should have been added to Search and I plan to focus it on indexing KV data only in the coming months. I would love to see better Search support across all the clients. I'm actually surprised people use the erlang-http-client. It seems if you're in Erlang already why not just use the protobuff client? Looking at the client, one good thing to do right off the bat is _not_ use map/reduce just to pull back the keys. That is adding latency and using more resources on the server for no good reason. Anyways, I'm supposed to be on vacation right now and not writing emails. If you decide to write some pull-requests I'm happy to help with questions/reviewing. -Z
