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/?cache=fast_avg&engines=clickhouse%2Celasticsearch%2Cmanticoresearch_rowwise%2Cmysql%2Cmysql_percona&tests=hn_small&memory=110000&queries=0%2C1%2C2%2C3%2C4%2C5%2C6%2C7%2C8%2C9%2C10%2C11%2C12%2C13%2C14%2C15%2C16%2C17%2C18%2C19%2C20%2C21%2C22%2C23%2C24%2C25%2C26%2C27|https://db-benchmarks.com/]

It is a ((Unified Index Comparison|Unified Index)) option starting in ((Tiki25)) (experimental) and will be production ready in ((Tiki26)).

As of 2022-11-16, 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.
