Before we get into it, here's a fact from the report: If you print out RECAP and lay it end to end, it'd go all the way around the planet. Another fact: If you stacked RECAP, it'd be 1.5× taller than Everest. Yes, RECAP is longer than the equator and taller than Everest. 2/6.

To our API users, the new search engine is going live slowly, as an extra precaution. We promised it'd swap over yesterday, but to blunt any issues, 10% of requests will use it starting today, 25% tomorrow, 50% on Thurs, and 100% on Fri. One last opportunity to catch things!.
We're thrilled to share that our case law search engine just got way better. This has been a huge undertaking and it will bring really powerful improvements to our case law research platform and API. Happy Thanksgiving!
