  • tantivy

    Tantivy is a full-text search engine library inspired by Apache Lucene and written in Rust

  • 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)

  • roaring-rs

    A better compressed bitset in Rust

  • Yeah, it can be attributed to using the roaring-rs library, but not just that, we have done so much to improve the search performances by reducing the number of set-operations we do.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • milli

    Discontinued Search engine library for Meilisearch ⚡️

  • Yeah, we have already done that, the internal engine is called milli and could even be published on crates.io one day! The issue is with the design of the storage system itself, we use LMDB right now but maybe we can find another way to index faster and to be more oriented to distributed systems.

  • specifications

    Discontinued Track specification elaboration. (by meilisearch)
