    Project mention: Show HN: PHP-fts – Full-text search engine in pure PHP, no extensions | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-05-06

    Not quite a comparable alternative. I use Pagefind and it's great for static sites but the search is all client side JS, there's no PHP (or otherwise) client to use it's generated index on the server.

    A comparable alternative might be TNTSearch: https://github.com/teamtnt/tntsearch though that requires some (common) PHP extensions to be available, which this library does not require.
