Lightning-Fast, Open Source Search
news.ycombinator.com | 2021-05-14

Typesense seems like a good fully-featured alternative to Elasticsearch. I.e. it's basically a database with fuzzy-search features (schemas, fields, facets, ordering, scoring profiles, etc), and its speed is enabled by holding everything in RAM.
If you just want the fuzzy-search part (query string -> list of matching document ids) and don't want to pay for GBs of RAM, sonic [1] seems to be an interesting project. It's very fast (μs) and uses very little RAM but doesn't offer DB-like features such as sorting, schemas/fields, scoring etc. It's more of a low-level primitive for building your own search engine than an integrated search engine that's ready to use out of the box.

Portal - full-text search web service

I just released portal a full-text search web service that is a competitor for ElasticSearch and MeiliSearch written in Rust. It is simple, blazing fast, and under 500 LOC! Portal supports 87 natural languages, JWTs, SSL, and JSON clients. It is built on Sonic, Broker, Tide, and RocksDB.

ClickHouse as an alternative to Elasticsearch for log storage and analysis
news.ycombinator.com | 2021-03-02

I'm personally very fond of sonic [0] for full text search.
> Sonic can be used as a simple alternative to super-heavy and full-featured search backends such as Elasticsearch in some use-cases. It is capable of normalizing natural language search queries, auto-completing a search query and providing the most relevant results for a query....
> When reviewing Elasticsearch (ELS) and others, we found those were full-featured heavyweight systems that did not scale well with Crisp's freemium-based cost structure.
> At the end, we decided to build our own search backend, designed to be simple and lightweight on resources

This is actually very interesting project. Do we have some benchmark that sonic works on huge scale with lot of data?

I assume you find their own benchmarks not conclusive enough? https://github.com/valeriansaliou/sonic#how-fast--lightweigh...
