Manticore Search
Open-source search database for full-text, vector and hybrid search, with an SQL interface and an HTTP JSON API.
manticoresearch.comrepositorydocs
Manticore Search is a search database written in C++ that indexes documents and answers full-text, vector and hybrid queries, which it accepts as SQL and over an HTTP JSON API. Manticore Software Ltd, a company in the United Kingdom, maintains the project. The install page covers the Linux, macOS, Windows and Docker routes, and the manual documents the server.
Worth knowing
The server runs as a daemon that listens on MySQL and HTTP ports, so it needs a running process rather than static files. The manual describes Manticore Buddy, a component installed with the packages, as written in PHP.
