Smooth Transition and Stellar Performance with Manticore Search

[ya-kostik]

My experience with Manticore Search has been exceptionally positive and satisfying. The search capability of Manticore Search is truly commendable, and what makes it even more appealing is its near-zero crash rate. Having used Sphinx on earlier projects, I often found myself grappling with the need to rebuild indexes due to regular crashes, a problem I haven't encountered with Manticore.

Comparing Manticore with Elasticsearch, Manticore is significantly simpler to install and operate, making it far more user-friendly. It also appears to be more resource-efficient, even during idle periods, unlike Elasticsearch, which consumed considerable resources even when idle. The installation, maintenance, and version updating of Elasticsearch were not particularly smooth experiences.

Transitioning from Sphinx to Manticore was smooth sailing. It was as simple as replacing the binary files. Where Sphinx 3 was used, a minor configuration change was required, and that was it.

Another impressive feature of Manticore is the Russian lemmatizer, which significantly enhances the search quality.
The overall experience with Manticore was enjoyable. It allowed me to accomplish what I set out to do with ease, which for me, is the most important metric. It was simple to set up, launch, and start experimenting with it.

Lastly, I must mention the added value brought by the Manticore's Telegram chat groups. Not only can you ask questions and get prompt responses, but you can also read through interesting use cases and solutions provided by the community. This collaborative spirit makes Manticore not just a tool, but a community I'm proud to be a part of.
