Riot is a distributed full-text search engine library written in Go, featuring efficient indexing, Chinese word segmentation via gse, BM25 scoring, and realtime index updates. It is a beta V1 with high memory consumption, and a full V2 rewrite was planned but the project has seen little activity since 2020.
Use cases
- add full-text search to a Go application
- index millions of documents quickly in memory
- search Chinese text with word segmentation
- build a distributed search cluster in Go
- rank search results with BM25 and custom scoring
- perform realtime indexing with online add and delete
When to choose
- you need an embeddable search engine in Go without external services
- your corpus includes Chinese text needing segmentation
- you want BM25 ranking and custom scoring rules built in
- you need distributed indexing and search
When to avoid
- you need a production-grade, actively maintained search engine (prefer Elasticsearch, Meilisearch, or Bleve)
- memory footprint is a concern, since V1 consumes large amounts of memory
- you need long-term support, as the project has been inactive since 2020
