Lunr and elasticlunr are awesome projects. I was part of a search team and we were banging our heads against the wall trying to figure a way to serve a new feature request (basically some advanced autocomplete functionality) in a way that fit in with what we were currently maintaining.
It took me literally half an hour to implement this using elasticlunr on the browser. We will went with the backend solution as it felt more extendable, but this got me thinking there's some abuse of ES for things you could easily do that way.
- acidbaseextract 6y agoWhat's your feeling on the status of elasticlunr as a project? I've been eying the the functionality for a project, but it hasn't received updates in quite a few years.
- lukevp 6y agoI have yet to see development of a js search engine continue for the long term. Used FlexSearch in a recent project but it too appears to have been abandoned. Mini search seems nice and it’s a bit newer. It has a focus on low memory usage so it may also work well for this scenario of a static index.
- inertiatic 6y agoSorry, I don't have an opinion, I haven't kept up with them, and you put more research into this that I have.
