Feedback, migrating from Sphinx

[mytskine]

One year ago, I migrated a project from Sphinx 2.3 to Manticore 6.2 (the latest stable version at that time). I expected a rough transition. The volume of data was small, but the project worked with plain mode indexing and delta/distributed tables, which aren't the main focus of Manticore.

I was surprised the transition was so smooth. Some minor configuration changes, no performance or stability problem, no need to change the SQL. That was easy.

Our main goal was to simplify our deploying and CI processes: the releases of Manticore include lemmatizers and are available as deb packages and OCI containers, which perfectly suits us. Since migrating, we've also made good use of some new features, e.g. facets.

Thank you very much for Manticore.

Thanks a lot for sharing @mytskine! Great to hear the move from Sphinx to Manticore went smoothly and helped with your CI and deployment setup.

Glad Manticore’s packaging and containers made things easier, and that you're making good use of the features. Really appreciate your support!
