Ask HN: Solr/ES Alternatives?

by anxiously on 11/3/22, 4:22 PM with 3 comments

I have tried postgres FTS and it didn’t cut it (I really wish it did) but I don’t like bringing Java into my stack.

Any alternative, simple (near zero config) FTS engines out there?

There is https://www.meilisearch.com/ Few others based on tantivy Sphinx
Nothing matches Solr/ES on functionality though, and ES doesn't require anyone to deal with Java (until you need tweak perfomance).

Manticore Search. Here's an article about Manticore vs Elasticsearch - https://manticoresearch.com/blog/manticore-alternative-to-el...
Unlike some others it's closer to Solr/ES in terms of full-text ranking concepts.
