EDITOR'S TAKE

Fast, typo-tolerant search engine in Rust. ~48k stars. Easiest search engine to operate — single binary, sensible defaults, great DX. Good middle ground between Postgres full-text and Elasticsearch.

Use this if

You need user-facing search on a product catalog, docs site, or app.

Skip if

You need extreme scale or complex aggregations — Elasticsearch still wins.
