lnx is an open-source, self-hosted search database that exposes the Tantivy full-text search engine through a REST API. It offers typo-tolerant fuzzy and fast-fuzzy queries, more-like-this search, field sorting, and token-based authorization with millisecond indexing performance.
Use cases
- add typo-tolerant full-text search to my app
- self-hosted alternative to meilisearch or algolia
- search as you type over millions of documents
- find similar documents for e-commerce recommendations
- expose a fast REST search API over my dataset
- index tens of thousands of documents with millisecond latency
When to choose
- you need a fast, self-hosted search engine with fuzzy/typo-tolerant queries
- you want fine-grained performance tuning of reader/writer threads per index
- you prefer a lightweight Rust-based stack without AI/ML features
- you need more-like-this similarity queries or field sorting
When to avoid
- you need semantic/vector or AI-powered search
- you require CJK (Chinese/Japanese/Korean) language support, which is not yet available
- you want a fully managed hosted service
- you need a mature ecosystem with extensive integrations
