About Manticore Search
Manticore Search is an open source search database for full-text, vector and hybrid search. It can be queried with SQL or HTTP and runs on your own servers, which suits teams that want search close to their data.
What it does
Applications store documents and records in Manticore, then search them by keywords, meaning or both. Typo tolerance and fuzzy matching help people find results even when they misspell a word. Faceted search and geo search let users narrow results by category or location, and autocomplete suggests terms while people type.
Key features
- Full-text search with typo tolerance
- Vector and hybrid search in one system
- Query the database over SQL or HTTP
- Faceted and geo search for filtering
- Autocomplete and search as you type
Who it's for
Developers adding search to a product, e-commerce teams that need fast catalog search, and teams that want an open source alternative to heavier search stacks.
Pricing and good to know
The core software is open source under the GPL-3.0 license and free to use. The company also offers support and services for larger deployments. Running a search database well means planning indexes, memory and updates, so test performance with your own data before you go live.
