I don't think this will help us much, because:

  • passing complicated data structures (e.g. catalog items) between workers and the main thread is pretty slow
  • most of the slowness of the search comes from loading and parsing data from remote servers, and I can't think of how to use web workers to make this faster.
    So I'm going to close this, but of course re-open if there's something here I've missed.
