- emmanueloga_ 2y agoManticore is seldom mentioned around here but it seems to be a really good alternative [1]. The fact that is the search engine Craigslist uses gives them a lot of credibility. This may be a bit silly, but I wonder if the design of their blog and website makes them look a bit "old fashioned" or something. -- 1: https://manticoresearch.com/blog/manticore-alternative-to-elasticsearch/ https://manticoresearch.com/blog/manticore-alternative-to-el...
- pqdbr 2y agoFunny you mentioned because I also get that vibe from the Manticore website. We do judge books by their covers afterall.
- philippemnoel 2y agoManticore is primarily oriented towards the MySQL world
- emmanueloga_ 2y agoIt uses the MySQL protocol and has some extra features for MySQL users like the Federated engine [1], so it should definitely be nice for MySQL users. But it also has an HTTP API [2] so sending data to manticore should be no different than sending it to Elastic, Meili or whatnot. -- 1: https://manual.manticoresearch.com/Extensions/FEDERATED https://manual.manticoresearch.com/Extensions/FEDERATED 2: https://manual.manticoresearch.com/Connecting_to_the_server/HTTP https://manual.manticoresearch.com/Connecting_to_the_server/...
- arkh 2y agoCurrently using meilisearch, the DX is a lot better than Elastic Search. Yeah I'm sure you can get better tuned results with ES but for simple full text search + facets you're setup and running a lot faster. Also request format tends to be stable between versions. My main gripe is how slow to display their API documentation is. I don't know how they managed to make a text only website take 3 or 4 seconds per link.
- Strift 2y agoI hate how slow the docs have become. Fwiw, we're working on fixing it :p

Fortunately, the Meilisearch documentation website is no longer the slowest website of all times! https://x.com/striftcodes/status/1823637020121440305?s=46&t=0s6OFYJM-Oyl_WD-1jijQA https://x.com/striftcodes/status/1823637020121440305?s=46&t=...
- cpursley 2y agoYeah, but those are separate things to learn and operate.
- _rwo 2y agoTypesense has been a godsend; amazing piece of tech and on top of that fairly easy to operate even in HA mode; if you can fit your dataset in memory I really recommend giving it a try
