Do You Have A Roon Fallback Plan - Options / Alternatives

I found the post I was thinking of;

Roon 2.0 and internet connectivity [it's just like 1.8 now]

There are many reasons… Some are not immediately obvious. This is one of those many reasons: we used to have two search algorithms. One ran locally and one ran remotely. The local one was quite poor because it lacked the infrastructure to keep a good search engine operational. But because of offline support, we needed to keep both functional. The online one keeps getting better but the one that lives in the Core hasn’t been improving at the same pace. Search is a major pain point for many of o…

This line in particular stood out to me;

“… With 2.0 we killed the local engine. So now all search requests go through a single unified engine that will continue to improve…”

It reads to me like search is now only handled in the cloud, perhaps using one’s database information to inform the cloud of what’s in one’s local collection.
