Amazon CloudSearch mentions (4)

• How does a large application's search functionality work? ELI5

  Personally, rather than trying to implement this functionality myself from scratch I would use something like Amazon CloudSearch that supports autocomplete suggestions for things that have been added to it. Source: 11 months ago

• How Should I Build a Search Bar

  TL;DR: Dynamo is "bad" for searching. Use something else ( Elastic, CloudSearch ) if you don't know what you're doing. Source: about 2 years ago

• Question about embedding for search vs clustering applications

  Have been using Sphinx. It does some processing around suffixes, tenses, and so on, and looks at word proximity (BM25), but is definitely limited. Source: about 1 year ago

• grep like search with preprocessing

  Lucene is the thing you think you need. Elastic Search is a nice wrapper for it. But these are Java, so maybe you want Sphinx Search (C++) or MeiliSearch (Rust). Source: over 1 year ago

• Search MySQL table for multiple keywords and return number of occurrences for each keyword per row

  Using a natural language search will almost certainly be a better solution and PHP may not be the best tool for this task. Figure out how you are going to get the text out of the PDF and where you are going to put it. Look at things like sphinx and full text search in boolean mode for doing the keyword matching.

• How to do a Scryfall-like search?

  In practice though you don't do any of this, you get a library to do it for you. I've used Sphinx Search in the past for some fairly hefty (In the order of terabytes), and there's a good book covering how to get it all set up and started. Source: almost 2 years ago
