We absolutely love Meilesearch. We run it on our own servers and air has been rock solid and the search results are better than anything comparable.

If you are trying to bootstrap something, 10K (and a free co-working space) in a city where a two bedroom apartment costs $800 rather than $4000 is pretty sweet depending on your life situation.
