Wukong is a highly customizable full-text search engine library written in Go, with efficient indexing, Chinese word segmentation via the sego package, BM25 scoring, and realtime index updates. It is embedded as a Go library rather than a standalone server, and supports persistent storage and distributed indexing.

Use cases

• add full-text search to a Go application
• build a Chinese-language search engine
• index millions of documents quickly
• implement BM25 relevance ranking with custom scoring
• run realtime indexing with online add and delete
• build a distributed search cluster

When to choose

• you need an embeddable Go search engine with strong Chinese tokenization
• you want custom scoring rules and token proximity ranking
• you need high-throughput indexing and low-latency search inside your own service

When to avoid

• you need a turnkey standalone search server with REST API like Elasticsearch
• you need active maintenance and recent updates
• you need multilingual search beyond Chinese without extra work
