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
I've written a full-text search engine as well. I don't tout it as a replacement for Elasticsearch, but it does have a few advantages: it's fast; supports HTML documents; supports Polish inflection (via a full-blown morphological dictionary, not just a stemmer); and has a very compact on-disk format (pre-parsed HTML trees, Huffman-encoded over large alphabets). Oh, and it's 100% Clojure.
It underlies a GUI called Smyrna: https://github.com/nathell/smyrna, https://smyrna.danieljanus.pl
I haven't touched it in six years, other than a few small changes. But I do plan on revisiting it when time permits.

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)
What are some alternatives?
