lnx 0.9, the fast search engines like Elasticsearch & Algolia alternative is out! + Tech Talk

👋 Hello all, it's been a little while. I'm glad to finally be able to say that 0.9 of lnx is finally out after a few months of inactivity, I got slightly de-railed building the website backend for a friend, and doing a rather enjoyable tech talk about lnx in June.

For context, lnx is a fast alternative to Elasticsearch & Aloglia written in Rust and built upon the amazing Tantivy library. Providing a good mix of utility and ease of use without sacrificing on performance.In fact, the fast-fuzzy system makes fuzzy text searching almost as cheap as regular text search, seeing potentially tens of thousands of queries per second on a 10-core machine.

The code is located at https://github.com/lnx-search/lnx with various other tools and libraries included under the organisation, and docs available at https://docs.lnx.rs

The full changelog is available @ https://github.com/lnx-search/lnx/releases/tag/0.9.0A small blog post about it is also available @ https://chillfish8.ghost.io/whats-new-in-lnx-0-9/

I also did a tech talk at a Rust London meetup earlier this month (went massively over the time limit as well) which may be of interest to anyone bored out of their minds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzCYbZjJcTk
