• MeiliSearch

  129 43,043 9.8 Rust

  A lightning-fast search API that fits effortlessly into your apps, websites, and workflow

  

  How would it compare to something like https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch? The main differentiator for me seems to be "Compatibility with Elasticsearch API".

  > It's interesting to note that Elasticsearch and Opensearch are general purpose search engine, Solr as well. They are all powered by Lucene, the popular and performant search engine library.

  Another search engine which can be considered general, is not based on Lucene and is not less powerful than Elasticsearch/Solr is Manticore Search [1]

  I'd love too. We started this work on db-benchmarks [2] , hopefully we'll have resources to continue it. Contributions are very welcome. It's 100% opensource [3]

• charabia

  5 208 8.4 Rust

  Library used by Meilisearch to tokenize queries and documents

  

  Hi @tommoor

  I work at Meilisearch so maybe a biased answer.

  We do support other languages than English, it actually depends on what are the languages supported by our tokenizer https://github.com/meilisearch/charabia, so any language that uses whitespace to separate words(including English), Chinese, Japanese, Hebrew and Thai (Japaneze and Thai might work a little bit less)

• Elasticsearch

  91 67,391 10.0 Java

  Free and Open, Distributed, RESTful Search Engine

  

  - log search: elasticsearch/opensearch, loki[5], quickwit[6], zincsearch[7]

  Vespa.ai[8] is great but I don't really know in which category to put them, user facing and enterprise search seems to work well with them.

  It's interesting to note that Elasticsearch and Opensearch are general purpose search engine, Solr as well. They are all powered by Lucene, the popular and performant search engine library.

  I would love to see some benchmarks by category :)

  Note: I don't know well ZincSearch and put it in the log search as said on their front page.
