 * Thanks for the great plugin.
 * Can we improve the speed by using Memcached? Or are there any known compatibility
   issues?
 * Thanks

 * I don’t know, but Relevanssi doesn’t really have an opinion either. Relevanssi
   just works under the hood and provides results. Caching is something that’s best
   done on other levels, ie. caching the search results pages. I can’t really see
   a reason why you couldn’t have something cache the search results pages. Not 
   really sure if any other level of caching would make sense.

 * Thanks for the help, btw GREAT PLUGIN!
 * I was thinking Relevanssi creates a separate table with the indexed values and
   searches in that table, rather than searching on the wp-postmeta table. But I’ve
   only used Relevanssi for 3 days so far, so I could be super wrong.
 * So I was thinking (assuming Relevanssi creates and searches on a seperate table),
   maybe better to push the data from that table to memory and potentially have 
   a performance increase…

 * Relevanssi uses a separate table, yes, the search index is in `wp_relevanssi`.
   If you can cache the Relevanssi table in memory, that should be a significant
   performance boost compared to using it from the disk. That’s something the server
   should worry about, I think, and I don’t see why Relevanssi would have problems
   with that.
