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.

Dozer vs. AirByte and Elasticsearch: The Fast Lane to Data Serving Efficiency
> I decided to experiment with this setup and the NY Taxi Dataset. The initial goal was to populate ElasticSearch with ~14 million rows, loading data from a compressed parquet file of ~350 MB.
> I tried multiple times, but the operation failed continuously, due to JVM memory constraints
Here's a script https://github.com/db-benchmarks/db-benchmarks/blob/main/tes... which loads 1.7B NYC taxi ride documents into Elasticsearch.

Meilisearch vs Manticore Search
In general, you are correct about another missing key: since we added an exception for MySQL by including two keys, we should perhaps optimize it to the maximum and add the rest as well. However, it would be better to make this more visible directly within the results then. I've created a task about it https://github.com/db-benchmarks/db-benchmarks/issues/30 . Thank you for pointing this out. If you see more issues, feel free to file them on github.

ZincSearch – lightweight alternative to Elasticsearch written in Go
> It's interesting to note that Elasticsearch and Opensearch are general purpose search engine, Solr as well. They are all powered by Lucene, the popular and performant search engine library.
Another search engine which can be considered general, is not based on Lucene and is not less powerful than Elasticsearch/Solr is Manticore Search [1]

> I would love to see some benchmarks by category :)
I'd love too. We started this work on db-benchmarks [2] , hopefully we'll have resources to continue it. Contributions are very welcome. It's 100% opensource [3]

Manticore Search: Elasticsearch Alternative
Comparing full-text search engines on queries that aren't full-text search are of course slow, these tests should be adapted to the proper usage of the tested DBs and not just benchmarked across the board..

Meilisearch vs. Elasticsearch
> Meilisearch focuses on simplicity, relevancy, and performance.
> excellent relevance out of the box
> if ease of use, performance, and relevancy are important to you, Meilisearch was made for you
Is there a benchmark that shows Meilisearch outperforming Elasticsearch in terms of relevance score? I couldn't find Meilisearch listed on https://github.com/beir-cellar/beir.
- Manticore 6.0.0 – a faster alternative to Elasticsearch in C++

An alternative to Elasticsearch that runs on a few MBs of RAM
There are actually benchmarks that allow measuring search relevancy objectively, e.g. BEIR[1]. Manticore Search team did an effort to make a PR to include it to the list. The results are here [2]. Unfortunately the BEIR team seems to be too busy to review a whole pile of PRs including about Vespa. Nevertheless it would be nice to have both Meilisearch and Typesense there too since it's interesting what performance those non-tf-idf based search engines would show compared to BM25-based and vector search engines.

Manticore Search: Elasticsearch Alternative
True! Here's a pull request to BEIR to compare Manticore with Elasticsearch in terms of relevance https://github.com/beir-cellar/beir/pull/92. Spoiler: in this test Manticore provides better relevance than Elasticsearch in average. Of course you can tune both further and Elasticsearch now has KNN which when combined with BM25 can give even better relevance. In general I would say for most users the results quality in terms of full-text relevance is about the same in Elasticseach and Manticore.

Manticore: a faster alternative to Elasticsearch in C++ with a 21-year history
But there's for example BEIR that compared BM25 vs state of the art ML language models and it turned out BM25 is in average better than all of them unless you rerank top 100 results from Elasticsearch using the language models. With Manticore you can get even better relevance than with Elasticsearch. We made a pull-request to BEIR to demonstrate that https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_ZyYkPJ_K0st9FJBrjbZqX14nmCCPVlE_y3a_y5KkYI/edit#gid=0
