Toshi is a full-text search engine written in safe, stable Rust, intended as an Elasticsearch-like service built on Tantivy. It exposes an HTTP API for indexing and querying documents and is still under active development and not production ready.

Use cases

  • run a self-hosted full-text search engine
  • elasticsearch alternative written in rust
  • index and search documents over an http api
  • lightweight search server for small datasets
  • search backend built on tantivy

When to choose

  • you want an Elasticsearch-like search service in a single Rust binary
  • you prefer memory-safe, stable Rust with no unsafe code
  • you need a lightweight search server for Linux, macOS, or Windows

When to avoid

  • you need a production-ready, battle-tested search cluster
  • you require the full Elasticsearch feature set (aggregations, Kibana, ecosystem)
  • you need a search client library to embed in your own code
