Xapian VS Quickwit

Recoll is free/open source (GPL) that can index PDFs and search them very quickly. It uses Xapian under the hood. I have over 165,000 documents indexed on an old laptop running Linux and can query them all in a split second. Source: 7 months ago

- Another nice comment seen on HN « it seems to be very easy to run, not very IO intensive, and running fine on a single node with modest hardware with >2 billion log rows. It has a really cool dynamic schema feature too.» [9] Fun fact: at least 4 users are using Garage[10] as the object storage, this OSS project looks really promising and made the HN front page a few months ago[11], we really cherish the OSS for... - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

Quickwit is an open source Loki alternative too. Like said in one comment here, it works on billions of logs on one modest instance. And Grafana integration is on the way :) https://github.com/quickwit-oss/quickwit (disclaimer: I'm one of the cofounders). - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
