Elasticlunr - This a small, full-text search library for use in the Elixir environment

Elasticlunr is a small, full-text search library for use in the Elixir environment. It indexes JSON documents and provides a friendly search interface to retrieve documents.

The library is built for web applications that do not require the deployment complexities of popular search engines while taking advantage of the Beam capabilities.

Imagine how much is gained when the search functionality of your application resides in the same environment (Beam VM) as your business logic; search resolves faster, the number of services (Elasticsearch, Solr, and so on) to monitor reduces.

It’s been a while since the initial release of the project. A lot has changed and improvements (storage and performance) have been made. If you’re looking to stay up to date, see the below discussion:

Sure. The docs will be improved over the coming days.

Yes, you can specify different tokenizers for different fields and you can also specify a different tokenizer at query time.

Note that the project wasn’t built to compete with the likes of Elasticsearch or Solr but to provide alternatives to individuals or companies that do not have the capacity or resources to manage these search engines – they all have their learning curves.
