Meilisearch – search engine API bringing AI-powered hybrid search
Meilisearch is great, used it for a quick demo
However if you need a full-text search similar to Apache Lucene, my go-to options are based on Tantivy
Tantivy https://github.com/quickwit-oss/tantivy
Asian language, BM25 scoring, Natural query language, JSON fields indexing support are all must-have features for me

Quickwit Joins Datadog
Congratulations! The fact you and your team managed to built Tantivy is a huge contribution to open source.
As someone who never managed to built a fond relationship with Apache Lucene based products (Solf, Elastic). I was extremely happy to see Tantivy in open source.
BM25 scoring, proper asian language support, speed memory foot prints, etc - amazing job! Thank you so much!
https://github.com/quickwit-oss/tantivy
IMHO Datadog made a smart move!
If Tantivy itself just stays permanently under Apache2 licence and find a sustainable path to co exist with the rest of open source community - it's all good guys. You are more than deserve a commercial success.

KAG – Knowledge Graph RAG Framework
This comment deserve an article!
Just finished a call a few mins, and we came to conclusion we do natural query language, BM25 scoring with Tantivy based code first

In meanwhile we collect all questions to ask LLM so we can be more consious at Hybrid Search implementation phase

Introducing Milvus 2.5: Built-in Full-Text Search, Advanced Query Optimization, and More 🚀
Our new text match capability leverages Tantivy's analyzers and indexing for precise natural language matching. This feature is particularly valuable when combining text matching with vector similarity search, enabling you to filter search results based on specific terms before performing vector similarity calculations.

Rank Fusion for improved code context
Fun fact: We've implemented binary embedding search [1] without the need for a specialized vector database. Instead, we create dimensional tokens like 'embedding_0_0', 'embedding_1_0', and so on, and we harness the robust capabilities of Tantivy [2]. We're really satisfied with the exceptional quality and performance this approach yields. Moreover, Tabby remains a single binary, integrating all these components seamlessly.

Tantivy – full-text search engine library inspired by Apache Lucene
| Hm, I am interested, but I would love to use it as a rust lib and just have rust types instead of some json config...
Yes that's how you use tantivy normally, not sure which json config you mean.
`tantivy-cli` is more like a showcase, https://github.com/quickwit-oss/tantivy is the actual project.
