I've always wanted a full text search engine akin to "sqlite".


You are aware sqlite includes a full text search engine too?

I've been having a lot of fun with the SQLite FTS library. The best public-facing demo I have is probably the search feature on https://datasette.io - e.g. https://datasette.io/-/beta?q=fts- that's powered by my https://github.com/dogsheep/dogsheep-beta tool.


Typesense and Melisearch are what you're looking for.


sqlite is itself a full text search engine. It's gotten pretty good over the years.

That's what Apache Lucy tried to become, but it's an abandoned project.


You could try Xapian. Or there's always SQLite itself.
