smyrna VS manticoresearch

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.

Note, you need to do it in the root folder of a clone from https://github.com/manticoresoftware/manticoresearch

Interesting, how does it compare to Mantico search?

Where Manticore Search? https://manticoresearch.com/

It's not open source since 2017. The open source fork is https://github.com/manticoresoftware/manticoresearch

I haven't looked at the code, but I've seen https://github.com/manticoresoftware/manticoresearch popping up in a few places. Might be worth looking at. It would be great to have a faster drop-in replacement for Elasticsearch that's not written in Java. They blogged about it here: https://manticoresearch.com/blog/manticore-alternative-to-elasticsearch/

I don't see anywhere where they claim that it's faster simply because it's written in C++. They do mention that they make use of C++ to add low level optimizations that make queries faster and the memory imprint smaller, but any claims about performance in the readme are linked to benchmarks to back up their claims
