sist2 VS Typesense

Quickly Googling for a docker indexer and search app I turned up Sist2, that on the surface looks like might fit your needs. I don't have an appropriate data store to run it against, so I can't speak to its indexing speed or efficacy. However, the developer does have an accessible demo to try, and the front end at least appears to function well.

I'm also looking for tools like this. You can check out this: https://github.com/simon987/sist2

Maybe sist2 (https://github.com/simon987/sist2 may fit the bill. It indexes all the metadata and then act as a giant search engine.

I am long user of sist2 from simon987 for full text search of pdf. It indexes everything (file content and metadata) through elasticsearch while providing a nice GUI. https://github.com/simon987/sist2

I have no experience with this tool, but I recall seeing it in the past. Perhaps it fills your need: https://github.com/simon987/sist2

sist2 is my primary file indexing / search engine for my SingleFile web archive. Lightweight, blazing fast and tons of customisable options.

I haven’t tried it in ages but used recoll for local indexing lots of random documents, I found a few repos on GitHub and Docker Hub but nothing super active but may be worth looking at viktor-c/docker-recoll-webui or sist2 is newer and I haven’t used it but may be better maintained at this point

Having a tool that can scan and index a shared folder would be amazing, and it being accessible from a web browser would also be great, because then I could search from any one of my several devices. The closest thing I have found was sist2. The demo seems to be what I need, but I couldn't seem to get it to run with docker. There's a direct install method, but I haven't tried that yet.

There are actually plenty of non-ES products that are way easier to integrate and tune (and get better results with less effort).

Typesense - Open Source Alternative to Algolia

If you like your penny take a look at Typesense https://typesense.org/ - nothing to complain here. Especially nothing complain about pricing.

I work on Typesense [1] (historically considered an open source alternative to Algolia).

We then launched vector search in Jan 2023, and just last week we launched the ability to generate embeddings from within Typesense.

You'd just need to send JSON data, and Typesense can generate embeddings for your data using OpenAI, PaLM API, or built-in models like S-BERT, E-5, etc (running on a GPU if you prefer) [2]

You can then do a hybrid (keyword + semantic) search by just sending the search keywords to Typesense, and Typesense will automatically generate embeddings for you internally and return a ranked list of keyword results weaved with semantic results (using Rank Fusion).

You can also combine filtering, faceting, typo tolerance, etc - the things Typesense already had.

For something small with a minimal footprint, I'd recommend Typesense. https://github.com/typesense/typesense

I haven’t used Publish, but I’d assume you could use something like https://typesense.org/ to index and search the vault.

A cheaper option would be to use https://typesense.org. You can use DynamoDb streams to automatically load records. It has worked well for me.

Try tigris | typesense for faster search

I’m also checking out Typesense as a possibility for replacing Elastic: https://typesense.org/
