Rusticsearch

A search server with an Elasticsearch-compatible REST API, written in Rust

NOTE: Currently, under initial research and development, please refer to the roadmap to see progress.

Project Goals

• Decent performance with predictible resource usage
• Focus on simplicity and stability over features
• Elasticsearch compatibility (where it makes sense)
• Simple to install and operate
• Secure out of the box

Personal Goals

• Build a reusable search engine library for Rust, and contribute to other Rust projects
• Improve my Rust skills
• Learn about search engines

Status

Rusticsearch is in its initial research/development phase. It currently supports basic indexing and retrieval but lacks persistence and many other things.

See the roadmap for a list of things being worked on at the moment.

Running it

Rusticsearch can be compiled with the latest stable version of Rust (it may work with older versions as well). This can either be downloaded from the Rust website or you could use rustup (beta).

Once Rust is installed, clone the repo and run cargo run:

git clone git@github.com:kaedroho/rusticsearch.git cd rusticsearch cargo run
