Introduction

❗Read recent blog post about Manticore vs Elasticsearch❗

What distinguishes it from other solutions is:

• It's very fast and therefore more cost-efficient than alternatives, for example Manticore is:
  • 182x faster than MySQL for small data (reproducible❗)
  • 29x faster than Elasticsearch for log analytics (reproducible❗)
  • 15x faster than Elasticsearch for small dataset (reproducible❗)
  • 5x faster than Elasticsearch for medium-size data (reproducible❗)
  • 4x faster than Elasticsearch for big data (reproducible❗)
  • up to 2x faster max throughput than Elasticsearch's for data ingestion on a single server (reproducible❗)
• With its modern multithreading architecture and efficient query parallelization capabilities, Manticore is able to fully utilize all your CPU cores to achieve the quickest response times possible.
• The powerful and speedy full-text search works seamlessly with both small and large datasets.
• Row-wise storage for small, medium and big size datasets.
• For even larger datasets, Manticore offers columnar storage support through the Manticore Columnar Library, capable of handling datasets too big to fit in RAM.
• Performant secondary indexes are automatically created using the PGM-index (Piecewise Geometric Model index), which provides efficient mapping between indexed keys and their memory locations.
• The cost-based query optimizer uses statistical data about indexed data to evaluate and determine the most efficient execution plan.
• Manticore is SQL-first, utilizing SQL as its native syntax, and offers compatibility with the MySQL protocol, allowing you to use your preferred MySQL client.
• With clients available in PHP, Python, Python asyncio JavaScript, Typescript, Java, Elixir, Go, and Rust, integration with Manticore Search becomes easy.
• Manticore also provides a programmatic HTTP JSON protocol for more versatile data and schema management, with Elasticsearch-compatible writes support.
• Built in C++, Manticore Search starts quickly and uses minimal RAM (around 40MB RSS for an empty instance), with low-level optimizations contributing to its impressive performance.
• With real-time inserts, newly added or updated documents are immediately accessible.
• Interactive courses are available through Interactive courses to make learning a breeze.
• Manticore also boasts built-in virtually synchronous multi-master replication using the Galera library and load balancing capabilities.
• Data can be synced from sources such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, ODBC, xml, and csv with ease.
• While not fully ACID-compliant, Manticore supports isolated transactions and binary logging for safe writes.
• Effortless data backup and recovery with built-in tools like manticore-backup and SQL BACKUP command

Craigslist, Socialgist, PubChem, Rozetka and many others use Manticore for efficient searching and stream filtering.

Manticore Search was forked from Sphinx 2.3.2 in 2017.
