SearchOps is now completely Open Source!
The entire application source code is available on GitHub, including all UI components, business logic, and features for authenticating and querying ElasticSearch & OpenSearch instances. I'm sharing Search Ops with a Convenience Pricing Model - the complete source code is freely available on Github, providing transparency, with pre-built versions are available on the App Store for a small fee, provioding the convenience of quick install and automatic updates.
This update includes a number of fixes when parsing large JSON objects.

3 06/01/2025
Fixed a bug which would crash the application when using a date range with multiple query terms. This is because the application was trying to reuse RealmSwift embedded objects across multiple classes. This has now been fixed.
