Sonic: A Super-Light Alternative to Elasticsearch

  ZincSearch . A lightweight alternative to elasticsearch that requires minimal resources, written in Go.

  

I would pay $5 to have every one of these projects stop saying "alternative to ElasticSearch" unless they implement the ES API (as https://github.com/zinclabs/zinc at least claims) because if one just wanted some schemaless full text searching wizardry, there are about 10 of those projects. If one is trying to replace kibana or the damn near infinite log gathering tools that target ES, Sonic and Melisearch and and and are not going to get it done

  Sonic is a super fast auto suggestion engine built by the team at crisp.chat, a customer engagement platform. its built in Rust and they officially support a javascript client, but if you want to use sonic via php, this is the library that you can look for. Completely unit tested, and adheres to modern coding standards, and offers a clean api to interact with sonic.

I was looking at the Github repos for Sonic, and a PHP library for working with it: https://github.com/ppshobi/psonic/blob/master/api-docs.md and I'm scratching my head over: what's the difference between the popping and flushing operations?

Specifically, there's a "pop" method which: "pops an item out of index" and a "flusho" method which "Flushes the indexed text from an objects". They kind of sound awfully similar and take similar args.

Otherwise it all looks pretty straightforward - just that one small conceptual thing might be explained a bit more in the docs.
