Rucene is a Rust port of Apache Lucene, providing a library and API for adding full text search capabilities to applications. Its index searcher and writer components have been in production serving Zhihu's search traffic since 2018-2019.
Use cases
- add full text search to a Rust application
- build an inverted index in Rust
- port an existing Lucene-based search stack to Rust
- run real-time search indexing and querying
- embed a search engine library without running a separate search server
When to choose
- you want Lucene-like full text search semantics in Rust
- you need a proven in-production search library rather than an experimental one
- you are already familiar with Lucene 6.x APIs
When to avoid
- you need up-to-date Lucene features or active community support
- you want a turnkey search server like Elasticsearch or Solr
- you need comprehensive API documentation, which is still lacking
