We wanted a simple search engine that was fast, handled typographic errors out-of-the-box and was also simple to run and manage. We could not find one - so we built Typesense and are open sourcing it today. Before you ask: Elasticsearch is a great project but is far better suited for larger teams which have bandwidth to administer, scale and fine-tune it and when you want to store billions of documents. For those of us who are not in that bucket, we hope Typesense would help.
