Manticore 6.0.0 – a faster alternative to Elasticsearch in C++

• milli-py

  2 123 4.0 Rust

  Python bindings for Milli, the embeddable Rust-based search engine powering Meilisearch

  I've been following these two libraries (Manticore and Meilisearch) very closely. Their simplicity, portability and performance gains over Elasticsearch are impressive.

  Since two days ago, I am creating Python bindings for the core search engine of each of these two libraries, starting with https://github.com/AlexAltea/milli-py. Getting extreme performance, but as an embedded/self-contained packed (akin to SQLite).

  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
