From the README
If you are looking for an alternative to Elasticsearch or Apache Solr, check out Quickwit, our distributed search engine built on top of Tantivy.
Tantivy is closer to Apache Lucene than to Elasticsearch or Apache Solr in the sense it is not an off-the-shelf search engine server, but rather a crate that can be used to build such a search engine.
Tantivy is, in fact, strongly inspired by Lucene's design.
The following benchmark breaks down the performance for different types of queries/collections.
Your mileage WILL vary depending on the nature of queries and their load.
Details about the benchmark can be found at this repository.
