Hello friends, I built a search engine in Go. It is a lightweight alternative to elasticsearch. Let me know what you think. https://github.com/prabhatsharma/zinc

    In using Bluge/BM25, the quality of search results could be comparable to ES out-of-the-box, though I imagine that ES is more tweakable.

    Another/better way to position this might be to compare it to full-text-search available for popular databases since they both offer simple non-distributed setups.

    awesome, you should make a demo site, so that people can test it out.
