Apache Lucene mentions (7)

• Looking for small libraries implemented in multiple langauges

  I have to find a few examples of relatively small programming libraries that has been rewritten/ported to C++, C# and Java. Example: Lucene (it isn't that small, but still shows what I'm looking for). Source: about 1 year ago

• HBO Max needs to stop purging its content.

  He is talking about impacting the search algorithm. Putting a “+” sounds like it is negatively impacting search quality. Source: over 1 year ago

• Whoever worked on Steam's search engine needs a raise.

  For example Lucene is a core project common to many search engines, lots of things built ontop of it. And there are similar libraries Https://lucene.apache.org/core/. Source: over 1 year ago

• Prometheus vs Elasticsearch stack - Key concepts, features, and differences

  Full-text search Elasticsearch is built on top of Apache Lucene, an open-source information retrieval software. Apache Lucene enables Elasticsearch can perform complex full-text searches using a single or combination of word phrases against its No SQL database. - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

• A simple but efficient algorithm for searching a large dataset of objects?

  If I had control of the back end I would implement a full-text engine such as Lucene. Generate the lookup table as a batch job and then perform the FTS when the request comes in. If you try to do this real-time, your search will take exponentially longer the larger the data set gets. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Best 5 Ecommerce Search Engines for Developers

  Sphinx is a search engine that can be integrated into a website to provide advanced search functionality such as full-text, Boolean, and faceted search. It is a powerful open-source search engine that can handle large amounts of data and quickly return results. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year 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: over 1 year ago
