# Toshi

Full-text search server written in Rust that serves a JSON query API over indexes built with Tantivy.

STUB. This software has no release or pre-release in four years, or its project site no longer shows it, so it is not part of the register, not counted and not indexed. It will be checked again.

## Notes

Toshi is a full-text search server written in Rust that builds its indexes with Tantivy. The repository's README builds it with cargo and runs the resulting binary, which listens on a configured port and writes its data and indices under a configured data path. Its description on the project site calls it a full-text search engine written in Rust.

## Worth knowing

The README and the project site both describe Toshi as experimental and not ready for production use. Its only published crate is a single early version, and the project has no GitHub releases or tags.
