Manticore Search is an Open Source database that was created in 2017 as a continuation of Sphinx Search engine (Started in 2001). It's a modern, fast, light-weight and full-featured database with outstanding full-text search capabilities. https://manticoresearch.com/
You can check out benchmarks at: https://db-benchmarks.com/
It is a ((Unified Index Comparison|Unified Index)) option starting in ((Tiki25)).
As of 2022-10-26, the results between the various engines are not identical in all cases. We will write a script to compare the results of MariaDB/MySQL vs Elasticsearch vs Manticore Search, and review all the discrepancies. Also, different engines have different features. If Manticore doesn't work for you, you can revert to your previous engine.
