Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

An alternative to Elasticsearch that runs on a few MBs of RAM
Somewhat related, this guy: https://github.com/mosuka/ seems to be very passionate about search service.
He built two distributed search services:
- https://github.com/mosuka/phalanx, written in Go.
- https://github.com/mosuka/bayard, written in Rust.

Postgres Full Text Search vs. the Rest
I wish we had an extension like ZomboDB but using a lighter search engine like https://github.com/quickwit-oss/quickwit, https://github.com/toshi-search/Toshi and https://github.com/mosuka/bayard
Here I'm listing engines based on https://github.com/quickwit-oss/tantivy - tantivy is comparable to Lucene in its scope - but I'm sure there are other engines that could tackle ElasticSearch.
Another thing that could happen is maybe directly embed tantivy in Postgres using an extension, perhaps this could be an option too.

Meilisearch, the Rust search engine, just raised $5M
So there's more than one? The one I knew was https://github.com/quickwit-oss/tantivy and https://github.com/quickwit-oss/quickwit on top of it (there's a couple of other search engines built on top of tantivy, like https://github.com/bayard-search/bayard)

Introducing pgzx: create PostgreSQL extensions using Zig
And lots of interesting extensions use it, like
https://github.com/tembo-io/pgmq
https://github.com/zombodb/zombodb

Create a search engine with PostgreSQL: Postgres vs Elasticsearch
Point 2 is generally solvable via engineering effort and careful dedicated code. From the existing tools, PGSync is an open source project that aims to specifically solve this problem. ZomboDB is an interesting Postgres extension that tackles point 2 (and I think partially point 3), by controlling and querying Elasticsearch through Postgres. I haven't yet tried either of these two projects, so I can't comment on their trade-offs, but I wanted to mention them.

Creating an advanced search engine with PostgreSQL
Curious, did you try zombodb? [https://www.zombodb.com/]

💃🏼 Quickwit 0.6 released!🕺🏼: Elasticsearch API compatibility, Grafana plugin, and more....
What about zombodb, do you think that quickwit has all the necessary APIs?

Write Postgres functions in Rust
No. Haha. Was just the right name for https://github.com/zombodb/zombodb at the time. Software where the only limit is yourself!

Postgres Full-Text Search: A Search Engine in a Database
> The hardest part of building any search engine is keeping the index up-to-date with changes made to the underlying data store.
This deserves mention, as it solves that problem: https://github.com/zombodb/zombodb
From the README:
> ZomboDB brings powerful text-search and analytics features to Postgres by using Elasticsearch as an index type. Its comprehensive query language and SQL functions enable new and creative ways to query your relational data.
> From a technical perspective, ZomboDB is a 100% native Postgres extension that implements Postgres' Index Access Method API. As a native Postgres index type, ZomboDB allows you to CREATE INDEX ... USING zombodb on your existing Postgres tables. At that point, ZomboDB takes over and fully manages the remote Elasticsearch index and guarantees transactionally-correct text-search query results.
I find other things also hard in search engines: dealing with the plethora of human languages and all the requirements we may have to processing them. A mature solution like ES therefor is almost a must in the more demanding cases.
