lnx

Open-source search server that serves a tantivy-based search index through a REST API, with typo-tolerant queries.

lnx is an open-source search server written in Rust. The README describes it as a deployment of the tantivy search engine that is reached through a REST API, built on tokio, hyper and tantivy. The homepage describes its queries as typo tolerant and names 17 latin languages as supported.

The quick start runs the server from a Docker image on port 8000. The API documentation is an OpenAPI reference that is generated from the server’s own OpenAPI document.

Worth knowing

The README marks the repository’s default branch as the active development branch and asks readers to use the latest stable release instead. Chinese, Japanese and Korean are listed on the homepage as planned, not supported.
