• Best 5 Ecommerce Search Engines for Developers

• 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 2 years 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 2 years 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.

• Remarkable update 2.14

  Finally if you really want a full fledged solution the most popular are good old Sphinx http://sphinxsearch.com or Apache Solr https://solr.apache.org but as these take a bit of time to setup I'd make sure that's truly needed. Chances are unless your collection is the size of the Library of Congress you are probably fine with ripgrep on your own indexes as text or some R package or sqlite FTS5 extension...

  An old fact from 2014 December 12th was significant for Vinted: the company switched from Sphinx search engine to Elasticsearch 1.4.1. At the time of writing this post, we use Elasticsearch 7.15.
