Top 4 typo-tolerance Open-Source Projects

MeiliSearch

129 43,284 9.8 Rust

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

Project mention: Publish/Subscribe with Sidekiq | dev.to | 2024-02-21

We needed to introduce a new service for search. As we settled on using meilisearch, we needed a way to sync updates on our models with the records in meilisearch. We could've continued to use callbacks but we needed something better.

Open Source alternative to Algolia + Pinecone and an Easier-to-Use alternative to ElasticSearch ⚡ 🔍 ✨ Fast, typo tolerant, in-memory fuzzy Search Engine for building delightful search experiences

Project mention: Sky's the Limit! Supercharging Your Astro Blog with Orama, the Ultimate Stargazing Search Engine! | dev.to | 2023-08-03

Let's break into the steps to utilize Orama and analyze how it works. I won't dig into the technical stuff because, hey, it's an open-source project, which means you can easily peek at the source code, no problemo!

minisearch

10 4,066 7.9 JavaScript

Tiny and powerful JavaScript full-text search engine for browser and Node

Project mention: Character and Subsector generators for Classic Traveller, with TAS Forms! | /r/traveller | 2023-12-07

I wrote an online catalog a while back (and I need to get back on adding graphics and products at some point). It’s written using Eleventy and the minisearch library. The source and data are available on Github if you want to see how I did things. I’m not a professional web designer either, but it was a fun project.
